Full-day kindergarten is now normative in the US, and that has big implications for moms and families.

I was delighted to see the BYU News article about our full-day K study (with @1rileywilson & @JocelynWikle, both at BYU) was one of 2024's most read!
We couldn't beat the story about the new creamery on campus though. 1/3

Our new work on full-day kindergarten expansions has been getting a lot of attention in Utah, and not just because my fantastic coauthors @JocelynWikle and @1rileywilson are at BYU…

Check out this thread from my coauthor @chloergibbs! We study how one of the most wide spread public education investments -the transition to full-day K- affects maternal labor supply and family decisions in the US. It has been great to work with @chloergibbs and @JocelynWikle!

Say it with me: education policy is women’s policy.

This is one of the most exciting and important papers I’ve seen in a good long while. Looking forward to digging in! Variation in policy exposure, long term outcomes, and intuitive data visualizations to really motivate the intuition

Got one of my favorite recent research facts that can make you interesting* at dinner parties when I saw Chloe present this paper:
For as much as we (rightly) talk abt pre-k, growth in full-day K has been a much, much bigger source of childcare expansion
*definitions may vary

"full-day kindergarten expansions were responsible for as much as 24 percent of the growth in employment of mothers with kindergarten-aged children in this time frame" #edpolicy #scipol #workingmoms

My daughter just took a career aptitude test. Much to her dismay, the test said she would be an excellent . . . economist. And to add insult to injury, the second suggestion was an economics professor. I guess the invisible hand doesn't fall far from the tree.

It's funny to me that so many economists are children of economists. My children are like, 1) everyone's parent is an economist, and 2) economics sounds *so* boring.

Took me a long time but finally finished @kearney_melissa’s “The Two-parent Privilege”. Wow. Such a valuable contribution to help us think about unequal resources for kids. She has started a needed conversation of how society can foster more resources (time and money) for kids!

Really enjoyed talk by @JocelynWikle on non-financial benefits of Advanced Child Tax Credit. Prelim work but they find an 5% increase in away from home parent-child engagement for every $100 dollar increase tax credit. #TimeUse @UMD_MPRC Powered by @ipums (1/2)

In new research, @AshleyForbush and @JocelynWikle use SEM analysis of CDS 2002 and 2007 to examine how mother's parenting practices during childhood relate to later adolescent sexual outcomes.

There is social value in investing in families with children. I'm honored to have my work with @1rileywilson on Head Start and maternal employment cited in this year's report.
