Vignoli (@florenceups.bsky.social) & @manuelastranges.bsky.social show that, in Europe, individuals in same-sex couples report lower subjective well-being compared to different-sex couples — but this gap is smaller in more legally and socially inclusive contexts. 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This is at odds with classic sex-specialisation theory, implying high economic prerequisites/stratification of parenthood under rising childlessness doi.org/10.1093/esr/...

New paper out in PRPR! Why do Italians end up having fewer kids, and later, than they want? Using new survey data we show that many Italians in reproductive age are falling short of their fertility desires— in either how many children they want or when they want them.⤵️
