Did you miss #PAA2024? Or miss a session you really wanted to attend?

We've pulled together many of the key takeaways here:

Women who had lost a young child were 2-3 times more likely to be severely depressed, finds preliminary research on Malawian mothers by Emily Smith-Greenaway, Abigail Weitzman, and Eric Lungu.

"Typically we take a downward effects framework, how parents affect kids," Smith-Greenaway said. "But intergenerational ties are bidirectional, and childhood adversities affect parents—things can 'spill up,' if you will, and that’s what the current paper focuses on. What are consequences of losing a young child for mothers' well-being?"

Today's #PAA2024 talk: Partner Prospects and the Marriage Promotion Fallacy

I'm at #PAA2024. If you want to meet up, let me know.

Also, I'll be giving a talk on Saturday in the last session (Migration Around the World) on how population-level educational attainment affects individual-level wages, with a special focus on nativity (domestic- vs- foreign born).

Note: This is a good paper, but I only got this slot because everyone else has to be at the airport then. So I'm a little afraid for the attendance.

Finishing touches on #PAA2024 slides. (Just kidding I start projects with the slides.)

Demographers: You can post your #PAA2024 paper as a working paper with the Association of Population Centers working paper series (on @socarxiv), https://www.popcenters.org/resources/association-of-population-centers-arxiv-apca/ -- or to SocArXiv directly. Generate buzz, keep up momentum, etc!
