🚨 New piece in @nathumbehav.nature.com:
We show that socioeconomic gaps in childcare access across the OECD are not mainly about lower demand. Many disadvantaged families want childcare but face barriers such as scarcity, costs, and complex procedures.
Main takeaway: make access easier 📣
🚨 FINAL REMINDER: THREE more days to submit, deadline 15th of May 🚨
We're looking forward to the workshop, featuring keynotes by @peterbergman.bsky.social and Esther Duflo 👏 💪 🚀

Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 18 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02479-4Socioeconomic inequalities shape who accesses early childcare, even in countries that claim universal provision. This entrenched inequality limits child development, women’s employment and gender equality — but governments have clear tools to close the gap.
Joint work with @lergetporer.bsky.social, @fpeter.bsky.social & @simonwiederhold.bsky.social 🙂
