We need change. Some first steps include a tax system with better incentives for secondary earners (mostly women), easier access to high-quality childcare and longer ‘daddy’-only leaves. 5/5

Differences in the gender lifetime earnings gap by parenthood can be completely explained by different labor market choices of women. But these ‘choices’ might not be entirely voluntarily! 4/5

@waqas_azeb I’m so sorry to hear that and I hope things will change soon!!

Expecting our first child and my fully vaccinated (!) family might not be able to welcome our baby due to the ongoing travel ban for EU.

With mask mandates lifted & indoor concerts being held, why are so many still forced to be apart from their loved ones?

Our newest report shows that community colleges are still the hardest hit during the pandemic.

Biden’s plan to make them free for “first-time students and workers wanting to reskill” has never been more timely and important!

Spring undergraduate enrollment is down 5.9% compared to the same time last year, according to latest #NSClearinghouseResearch. This is the steepest decline in undergraduate enrollment since the beginning of the pandemic. Report highlights: https://t.co/FgYvm6Pcri

[Astrid Harnack-Eber @aharnackeber]

We found that first-time enrollments are down by 16% this fall - and that’s just a very first glimpse into the pandemic’s consequences on the higher education world!
