New Study Finds Lasting Effects of Divorce on Kids

2 weeks ago | ifstudies.org | Grant Bailey

The divorce debate is alive and well in America. If you google “divorce” and limit results to big magazines and media, you’ll find these in the top results: “Divorce Can Be an Act of Radical Self-Love.” “Women are divorcing — and finally finding happiness.” “In Defense of Divorce.” And just last Friday, “Divorce is a Gift” from The New York Times. Characteristically, these articles map out the divorce journeys of their respective authors as they grapple with their personal identities.

American men are in trouble. From Richard Reeves' " Of Boys and Men" to Nicholas Eberstadt's " MenWithout Work," we have learned that men are opting out of our most important institutions - work, education and family - in record numbers. But what or who is to blame for this male malaise? Uncle Sam.
More Time With Mom: How Remote Work Shapes Mothers’ Time

1 month ago | ifstudies.org | Grant Bailey

Remote work is here to stay. While the technology that makes remote work possible has been around for some time, COVID accelerated its widespread adoption. The characteristics of the rising work-from-home class are well documented. They tend to be white-collar workers and earn higher wages, both within and across occupations. But we know less about the impact of remote work on home life. As Jon Askonas and Michael Toscano note, new technologies have a profound impact on the family.
Family Structure Matters for Rich Kids, Too

1 month ago | ifstudies.org | Grant Bailey |Wendy Wang

The family structure debate has finally arrived on the right, and Elon Musk’s unorthodox (to put it mildly) pronatalism is the occasion. Musk’s approach to family life indicates that some on the right do not think family structure matters for kids. Over the decades, primarily left-leaning commentators have discounted the importance of marriage and family structure.
Why So Blue: Liberal Women Are Less Happy, More Lonely. But Why?

Feb 18, 2025 | aei.org | Brad Wilcox |Grant Bailey

Young liberal women are especially prone nowadays to reporting poor mental health. This was the discovery that Zach Goldberg made almost five years ago pouring over Pew data in the spring of 2020. Further research in 2022 found that depression had surged among liberal high school girls in the last decade-and-a-half, and much more so for them than other high schoolers, especially conservatives. Is this ideological gap in the mental health of liberal and conservative women still present?

The Trump Bump: The Republican Fertility Advantage in 2024

Dec 18, 2024 | ifstudies.org | Grant Bailey |Lyman Stone

After the 2020 election, IFS published an article arguing that there was a “conservative fertility advantage”—basically, that conservatives have more babies than liberals. That fact appears to have become even more true in 2024. As the figure below shows, there is a clear relationship between the share of people in a county who voted for President Trump in 2024, and county-level total fertility rates estimated by the CDC.
Opinion: Does social media drive young voters to the polls? Not necessarily

Nov 4, 2024 | tallahassee.com | Deana A. Rohlinger |Grant Bailey |E. Ashby Plant
