Absolutely fantastic thread. Today’s high-rise architecture (and indeed lots of modern culture) puts form over function, and we lose out on so much as a result.

Fantastic thread! The more time I’ve spent with this data, the more I’ve felt it’s much fuzzier than the nice distinct categories imply. The same is true of overlaps/switching between particular health conditions, too.

I think this whole argument over retirements v sickness is a distraction. The reasons people give for inactivity change over time - what matters is that they're inactive. In 2019, the % of women who say they’re inactive because of sickness falls fro

Another excellent thread (and column) from @Martha_Gill, with bucketfuls of fascinating implications to ponder. Best and most comprehensive thing I’ve read on the topic.

Tweet Feb 12, 2023
Birthrates are falling in the rich world and elsewhere. Women and men in these places on average want 2 children but have far fewer. Why? I think we’ve been missing something 🧵 twitter.com/Martha_Gill/status/1624696977437908993/photo/1

Really interesting piece by @federicacocco on the worrying trend of declining rates of child adoption in the UK, caused in part by funding cuts and the cost of living crisis. Fewer adoptions -> more children in care -> worse life outcomes

Great thread and excellent column from @TimHarford on how to measure the full size of the gender pay gap, and how much more productive economies could be if true equality of opportunity was achieved

Tweet Jan 21, 2022
One (of many) ways to measure the gender pay gap is to compare labour market earnings for women and men. This combines three sources of inequality: lower average hourly pay for women, fewer paid hours for working women, and fewer women in paid work..
