There are also four other questions in the 8–9 June Referendum. They address improving precarious labour rights and job security. About 1,000 workers die each year on the job in Italy. Many are 'morti per subappalto'—deaths due to subcontracting and poor safety conditions."

Our sensitivity analysis, assessing a range of values of bias that may be produced by an unobserved confounder, is based on @jenniebrand.bsky.social et al

We also include a sensitivity analysis: how strong would an unobserved confounder need to be to explain away our main estimates?
Our main finding—a larger separation penalty for high-SES, low-PGI children—holds even under implausible values and sociologically unlikely combinations of bias.

For endogeneity concerns in both divorce and sociogenomic research:
we discuss possible sources of bias involving child’s EA-PGI, parental separation, and parental SES.

For sociogenomics: we bring sociological theory into G×E research. We also show that the “environment” (E) can actually be multidimensional—here, E₁ (parental education) and E₂ (family structure).
So we look at G×E₁×E₂
i.e.
G x parental separation x parental SES

For divorce research: we refine previous findings. The higher divorce penalty for children of highly educated mothers is driven by those with lower educational propensity—suggesting a cumulation of disadvantage (low propensity for education + parental separation)

We don’t analyze mechanisms here (future research needed—stay tuned 😅), but divorce often comes with emotional turmoil and loss of resources, which may reduce parents’ ability to compensate when kids struggle in school.

For social stratification: the compensatory advantage that high-SES families offer in challenging situations (that we here predict using low educational propensity measured with sociogenomics data) weakens in the case of separation.

When separation happens, the compensatory advantage that high-SES parents in intact families provide to children with lower propensity for educational attainment is lost.
Why does this matter?

We show that this larger penalty in the probability of college attainment for high SES student in case of parental separation is concentrated among those with a lower propensity for education (measured using sociogenomic data and PGI EA).

We start replication key finding in social demography: the negative effect of divorce on children's educational attainment is stronger for children of college-educated mothers.

Yesterday felt almost like a half-party, with lots of people out on the streets—families lining up at pizzerias with wood oven (many homes have electric stoves); young people drinking around with nothing to do and no social media..But if it had lasted one more day, I fear people would have gone mad.

Thanks to @tristanbridges.bsky.social's awesome post on partisan polarization in names (inequalitybyinteriordesign.wordpress.com/2025/04/13/h...), I thought we might be able to generate a list of reliably conservative names to compare with his results from state counts by vote share. Just a thought
