`Intuitively, if the restricted #estimator is near the maximum of the #likelihood function, the score should not differ from zero by more than sampling error. While the finite sample #distributions of score tests are generally unknown, they have an #asymptotic χ2-distribution under the null #hypothesis as first proved by C. R. Rao in 1948, a fact that can be used to determine statistical #significance.`

STUDENTS PROTEST OSAP CHANGES
Ontario students across the province are protesting about the recent changes made to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). The Ontario government has announced that, starting this fall, OSAP grants will decrease from a maximum of 85 per cent to 25 per cent.
On Mar. 4, 2026, hundreds of students and community members from across Ontario gathered at Queen’s Park to protest the cuts. Similar protests broke out in different cities, including Waterloo and Ottawa. The OSAP changes are not only affecting post-secondary students but also secondary schools.
At the University of Waterloo, the reaction has been described as historic. Remington Aginskaya-Zhi, Vice President of the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association (WUSA), noted that the campus is seeing a level of mobilization not seen in decades.
“This is the most engaged we’ve seen students probably ever,” Aginskaya-Zhi said. “The rally that we held was one of the biggest gatherings or protests on campus in probably our entire history.”
The movement is gaining even more traction in the Greater Toronto Area, where students are framing the cuts as a systemic attack on public institutions. Trudi Kiropatwa, a third-year student at Toronto Metropolitan University and a member of the Student Mobilization Committee (SMC), says the impact in Toronto is extreme.
“We’re essentially on a sinking ship,” Kiropatwa said. “This government and their corporate cronies see us as customers and our education as an industry that is ready to be exploited.”
The urgency stems from a lack of clarity on how these cuts will affect individual bank accounts. According to WUSA, the provincial OSAP estimator for the upcoming year has yet to be released, leaving students in a state of financial limbo.
Kiropatwa noted that for many, the breaking point is graduating into a job market with record-high youth unemployment while saddled with massive debt.
“Me, personally, I’m going to be graduating with tens of thousands of dollars of student debt already without these changes,” she said. “These changes are making the issue ten times worse.”
“Students definitely are very worried,” Aginskaya-Zhi said. “We are hearing stories from students telling us they’re uncertain whether they can come back to school next year, or whether they can pursue graduate studies.”
This uncertainty is already forcing students to make difficult lifestyle changes. Aginskaya reported that some students are opting for longer commutes rather than living in Waterloo to save on costs, while others are seeing their younger siblings reconsider university altogether.
Beyond the provincial level, the University of Waterloo is also grappling with internal budget crisis pressures. Aginskaya-Zhi highlighted that financial support units on campus are currently understaffed, which could complicate the processing of student aid.
“The university right now is understaffed and has lots of challenges to hire new staff…but funding should not come at the cost of giving more debt to students,” she said.
In response, organizations like WUSA and the SMC carried out a massive convergence at Queen’s Park on Mar. 24, 2026. Despite the government maintaining its argument that the 25 per cent grant limit is sustainable, the mobilizations saw hundreds of activists reiterating demands for a full reversal.
“We’re not here to demand a return to normal…which is a Band-Aid solution,” Kiropatwa said. “We’re here fighting for free, democratic, and accessible education.”
“Right now, I think students are angry, and what we are focusing on is giving students an avenue to let out their anger,” Aginskaya-Zhi said.
She emphasized that the momentum will not fade as the semester ends.
“Just because winter term is ending and it’s summer now doesn’t mean that students have forgotten this betrayal from the government.”
As Parliament returns to session, WUSA intends to keep the pressure on local MPPs to ensure the student voice is heard.
“We hear your anger, we hear your frustration,” Aginskaya-Zhi concluded as a message to the student body. “We are going to work to make sure that you can share that with us.”

Judge #Hannah #Dugan was charged with obstruction and concealing an individual to avoid arrest,
and faces a maximum of six years in prison if convicted on both charges.During a hearing on Friday, a lawyer for Dugan said she "wholeheartedly regrets and protests her arrest".
"It was not made in the interest of public safety."She was released on her own recognisance pending a hearing on 15 May.
An immigration judge had issued a warrant for Flores-Ruiz's arrest on 17 April, according to court documents filed in the case by the FBI.
The following day, Flores-Ruiz appeared in the Milwaukee court for a scheduled hearing, and officers from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) and the FBI went to the courthouse to make the arrest.
Dugan became agitated when she learned that immigration agents were in the courthouse and directed several of them to the office of the county's chief justice,
an FBI special agent wrote in the court document.While they were there, the document says, the judge ushered Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer to a side door meant for jury members leading out of the courtroom.
Flores-Ruiz, who authorities say had previously been deported from the US in 2013, managed to leave the courthouse but was arrested just minutes later after a short foot chase.
Attorney General Pam Bondi posted on X that Dugan was detained "for allegedly helping an illegal alien avoid an arrest... No one is above the law".
Dugan was first elected as a judge in 2016, and was re-elected to a second six-year term in 2022.
Judicial elections in Wisconsin are non-partisan, however Dugan was endorsed by Milwaukee's Democratic mayor.
The obstruction charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, while the concealment charges can be punished by up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.

-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Women who out-earn their partners through education face a smaller child penalty
URL: https://www.psypost.org/women-who-outrank-their-partners-in-education-face-a-smaller-child-penalty/
When couples have their first child, women generally experience a long-term drop in their income compared to their male partners. A new analysis shows that this combined loss of relative earnings is noticeably smaller for women who possess more formal education than their partners. The research was published recently in the journal Social Science Research.
Parenthood operates as a sudden fork in the road for the career trajectories of men and women. Mothers routinely undergo a large and persistent reduction in their labor market income after the birth of a first child. Fathers generally see their earnings continue untouched. Economists and sociologists refer to this divergence as the child penalty.
The child penalty remains a primary factor driving the persistent wage gap between men and women in the modern workforce. To understand how this dynamic plays out across different types of households, researchers look at how partners match up before having children. In the past, people predominantly married within their own educational bracket, a pattern known as homogamy.
Another common historic structure was hypergamy, where the male partner held a higher level of education than the female partner. Now, women are increasingly outpacing men in academic attainment across many geographic regions. This demographic shift has led to a rise in hypogamous relationships, where the woman is the more educated partner.
Previous investigations into how a woman’s relative status within her household might shape her career after childbirth have yielded mixed results. Some researchers suggested that a woman’s place in the household hierarchy mattered very little to her long-term income. Others proposed that women who outrank their partners navigate the transition to parenthood with less financial loss. The available evidence lacked enough detail to resolve these conflicting theories.
A research team sought to resolve these mixed signals by isolating the role of a woman’s relative education within her relationship from the general effects of holding a university degree. University of Vienna sociologist Nadia Steiber led the investigation. She partnered with Lara Lebedinski, Bernd Liedl, and Rudolf Winter-Ebmer to examine how varying levels of academic achievement within a romantic partnership change the financial consequences of starting a family.
The research team utilized a massive database derived from Austrian social security records and tax authorities. They focused their attention on 268,156 heterosexual couples who had their first child between 1990 and 2007. The database allowed the investigators to track the annual earnings of both parents starting five years before the birth of their child and ending ten years after the child was born.
By tracking these individual financial histories alongside detailed demographic data, the team could observe the direct shift in earnings associated with parenthood. To evaluate the data, the team employed an event-study framework. This type of analysis organizes information around a specific incident, which in this case was the exact date of the first child’s birth. The framework treats the transition to parenthood as an abrupt change to a person’s career timeline.
Establishing a baseline of earnings in the years prior to the transition enabled the researchers to measure the exact percentage by which women fell behind men over a decade of parenthood. The investigators created three broad categories based on the educational gap between the parents. The largest group consisted of couples with matching education levels, capturing about 60 percent of the sample.
Couples where the man was more educated made up nearly 20 percent of the total sample. Couples where the woman was more educated accounted for the final 20 percent. The overall trajectory of earnings followed a predictable pattern across all couple types. Men experienced steady earnings growth with no visible interruption at the time of childbirth.
Women saw their market income drop to nearly zero in the immediate period following the birth. This sharp decline aligns with the adoption of mandatory maternity leaves and extended breaks from the labor force. Over the subsequent ten years, women’s collective earnings gradually recovered, reaching about half of their pre-birth levels.
Although all mothers faced an economic setback, the size of the child penalty varied based on the couples’ educational pairings. Women in relationships where they were the more educated partner experienced the smallest overall financial disadvantage. Their share of the couple’s total earnings dropped by about 20 percentage points in the decade following the birth.
Women in couples with matching education levels saw slightly steeper declines in their relative earnings capacity. The largest overall drops happened for women in relationships where the man held more academic credentials. To rule out other explanations for these variations, the researchers applied statistical models that adjusted for the respective ages of the parents and the total number of children the couple eventually had.
The team also adjusted for the absolute level of education each partner held to establish an even baseline. This procedural adjustment ensured that the results were not simply highlighting the fact that higher education generally leads to higher wages regardless of partnership status. Even after these adjustments, the overarching pattern held steady. Women with a relative educational advantage over their partners sustained a smaller financial blow.
The researchers broke the dataset down further into highly specific academic pairings. This detailed breakdown revealed specific variations that the broad demographic categories occasionally masked. The smallest child penalties appeared for women with university degrees who partnered with men holding vocational qualifications or high school diplomas.
In contrast, the largest child penalties emerged for women with vocational or high school degrees who partnered with university-educated men. The researchers then addressed a specific theory that could have undermined their final conclusions. Some academics propose that highly educated women occasionally enter relationships with men who have unusually low earning potential for their specific background.
If that suggestion held true, the smaller child penalty in these relationships might just mirror the man’s stagnant wages rather than a true preservation of the woman’s career. To test this hypothesis, the researchers ran a computer sorting exercise. They built a mathematical scenario matching the highly educated women in their sample with randomly selected men chosen from the broader population.
These random men possessed the exact same education level as the women’s actual partners and became fathers in the same calendar year. By comparing the actual couples to these randomized couples, the team could see if the real partners were unusually low earners. They found that the actual male partners were not low earners at all.
Both the real and hypothetical groupings resulted in the identical child penalty, confirming the financial advantage was genuine and not a statistical illusion. The researchers attribute the smaller penalty to shifting power dynamics inside the modern home. A woman whose educational background exceeds her partner’s usually possesses a stronger financial fallback position.
This heightened status may provide her with enhanced bargaining power, allowing her to negotiate a more balanced division of household labor and childcare duties. Instead of defaulting to traditional roles, these particular couples might be more inclined to rely on outsourced childcare or share domestic responsibilities evenly. An economic concept called the specialization model also helps explain the measured outcome.
When a woman has a high earning potential relative to her partner, the opportunity cost of her leaving the workforce is much steeper for the entire household. In situations where the family relies heavily on the woman’s maximum income capacity, specializing in unpaid domestic labor becomes less economically viable. Financial necessity might push these women to return to work sooner and take on more scheduled shifts.
The study relies on historical data from Austria, a country with specific family policies. During the period analyzed, Austria offered generous, job-protected parental leave paired with flat-rate financial compensation. That structural design often encouraged long leaves and a subsequent return to part-time work, particularly among mothers functioning in a traditional cultural environment.
Because these regional policies shaped employment choices across the entire population, the average child penalties observed might appear higher than in nations with highly subsidized early childcare networks. Additionally, the national employment registers do not record the exact number of hours an individual works each week. The researchers could determine if a parent shifted to part-time employment, but they could not analyze the specific reduction in total hours.
The data also excluded income derived entirely from self-employment, meaning couples relying entirely on entrepreneurial ventures were left out of the final analysis. Future investigations could look directly at the daily scheduling negotiations happening within actual households. Studying how couples divide domestic tasks before and after childbirth would clarify exactly how relative education translates into shared responsibilities.
While the precise daily mechanisms require more exploration, the broad demographic trend is shifting. The evidence indicates that women completing higher education at greater rates than men may gradually help reduce gender earnings inequality.
The study, “Educational hypogamy is associated with a smaller child penalty on women’s earnings,” was authored by Nadia Steiber, Lara Lebedinski, Bernd Liedl, and Rudolf Winter-Ebmer.
