Doing Genders: Partner's Gender and Labor Market Behavior.

Partnered men and women show consistently gendered patterns of labor market behavior. We test whether not only a person's own gender, but also their partner's gender shapes hours worked. We use Dutch administrative population data on almost 5,000 persons who had both male and female partners, whose hours worked we observe monthly over 15 years.

Symposium summary: epigenetic inheritance-impact for biology and society 23-25 August 2023, Zürich, Switzerland.

The possibility that acquired traits can be transmitted across generations has been the subject of intense research in the past decades. This biological process is of major interest to many scientists and has profound implications for biology and society but has complex mechanisms and is therefore challenging to study. Because it involves factors independent from the DNA sequence, this form of heredity is classically referred to as epigenetic inheritance.

Social Capital and Its Returns as an Explanation for Early Labor Market Success of Majority and Minority Members in the Netherlands.

This paper tests whether social capital can explain differences in labor market success between ethnic majority and minority members. To overcome problems of reverse causality-labor market success is not only the result of social capital, but also leads to better networks-the focus is on adolescents who enter the labor market. Data from the 'Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Survey' are used (N = 2574) and matched to register data from Statistics Netherlands.

Cystic fibrosis and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency: case report and review of literature.

Background: This case report describes a child born with both cystic fibrosis (CF) and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD). Both are autosomal recessive inherited diseases, mainly affecting the lungs and the liver. The combination of both diseases together is rare and may lead to a fulminant disease with limited life span.

Dynamic contact effects: Individuals' positive and negative contact history influences intergroup contact effects in a behavioral game.

Positive contact between members of different groups reduces prejudice and increases cooperation, findings known as intergroup contact effects. Yet in real-world settings not only positive, but also negative intergroup contact occurs, which have opposing effects. To date little is known about whether and how an individual's valenced history of intergroup contact influences contact effects and how this dynamic change happens during specific instances of intergroup contact.
