Do the parent-child relationships of adolescents born after medically assisted reproduction (MAR) using parents' own gametes differ from those natural conception (NC)?MAR and NC families have similar in terms closeness conflict frequency, except that MAR mothers report being closer to their children than mothers.Prior work on during childhood has reported mixed findings. While some studies documented no differences between families, others shown greater levels warmth positive feelings...

Background The number and proportion of children conceived through medically assisted reproduction (MAR) is steadily increasing yet the evidence on their mental health in adolescence inconclusive. Two main mechanisms with opposite effects can explain differences outcomes by conception mode: while more advantaged parental characteristics could positively influence it, higher stress have a negative influence. Methods Linear logistic estimations longitudinal population‐based birth cohort study...

In this paper we study the effects of Women's Labour Subsidy (WLS), introduced in 2012, on women's labour outcomes. We use detailed administrative records for more than 2.5 million women that allow us to analyze employment and income trajectories before, during, after implementation subsidy. Using a regression discontinuity design exploits fact eligibility is contingent upon falling below specified vulnerability score cutoff, how both being program beneficiary affect Our results indicate no...

Whilst a growing literature has documented the link between academic rank and educational progression, effect of socioeconomic on these outcomes been largely neglected.

Inspectors are tasked with judging the quality of provision based on visits to schools. They conduct these inspections sequentially, completing one before moving next. However, empirical research in a range settings outside education suggests that prior judgements sequence can influence subsequent judgements, despite being logically irrelevant. We investigate whether school inspectors England display such sequential bias by testing they judge similar schools differently, depending reached...

Background: Medically assisted reproduction (MAR) can negatively impact women’s mental health, particularly when the treatments do not result in a live birth. While number of women relying on MAR to conceive has grown rapidly, our knowledge about health effects before, during, and after treatment is limited.Methods: Using Finnish register data linear regression models, we compared antidepressant purchases over 24 years six-month periods for three groups who: 1) gave birth natural conception...
