Hear me out. Journal word count limits should be higher when new data are used vs. reanalysis of secondary data due to the need to explain sampling, coding and measurement issues that are just blown off in secondary analysis reports. #AcademicSky 🧪

Traditional estimates put the gender pay gap at around 8%. But if you factor in unpaid domestic work, this rises to 43% – @marie-andreescu.bsky.social, Valentina Gabrielli, Romaine Loubes & Anne-Sophie Robilliard in our latest blog post #LSEInequalitiesBlog @wid.world

Women work more than men – but the economy still pays them less
Looking at domestic & economic labour together, women work more but earn 43% less than men, on average – much greater than usual estimates of the gender pay gap

Why has the US federal minimum wage stagnated since 2009? We argue the answer lies in institutions. Vesting wage-setting authority in Congress rather than the executive multiplies veto points and diffuses electoral accountability for wage stagnation. @poppublicsphere.bsky.social
