n this conceptual paper, we lay out a framework for how work during pregnancy might affect maternal and infant health. We argue that the effects are ambiguous and depend on women’s work arrangements and conditions, policy context, among other things. 4/7

Work-family balance begins before childbirth—work-family policies should, too. In this talk, I argue that we need more robust policy supports during pregnancy to protect women’s economic wellbeing and health and that of their unborn children. 1/7

These ideas are the product of an ongoing research collaboration with @Jessica_Pac : In this recently published paper with @AnnaWalther17 , we examine the effects of state pregnancy accommodation laws on women’s employment and income during pregnancy. 2/7

Several books & articles published lately argue that the factors holding people back from having kids are not economic, but cultural, & thus low fertility can't be reversed through financial support. In my latest for @TheAtlantic I explain that that's not how culture works.
