After an economic crisis, some children grow up to provide more comfort and support to other people. But speaking of resilience hides a web of market pressures, gender norms and care needs, argues @gmari.bsky.social 📄👉https://www.demographic-research.org/articles/volume/55/1

Children are perceived to be more prosocial (that is, supporting and comforting others) over time if their mother lost her job during the Great Recession in Ireland. These findings are driven by girls, especially those with younger siblings.
