Full-day kindergarten is now normative in the US, and that has big implications for moms and families.
🚨 New working paper alert!! 🚨
In work w/ @JocelynWikle and @1rileywilson, we study the policy that’s been the most prominent form of public education investment in young children—full-day kindergarten expansions—over last 3 decades in the U.S.

@EarlyLearnNatn & @The74 say our full-day K study - w/ @JocelynWikle & @1rileywilson - is a MUST READ from the 2024 research on child care and early learning!
Also: insights from Christ Herbst & @JHB_econ, research from Aaron Sojourner & coauthors

I was delighted to see the BYU News article about our full-day K study (with @1rileywilson & @JocelynWikle, both at BYU) was one of 2024's most read!
We couldn't beat the story about the new creamery on campus though. 1/3

Our new work on full-day kindergarten expansions has been getting a lot of attention in Utah, and not just because my fantastic coauthors @JocelynWikle and @1rileywilson are at BYU…

Check out this thread from my coauthor @chloergibbs! We study how one of the most wide spread public education investments -the transition to full-day K- affects maternal labor supply and family decisions in the US. It has been great to work with @chloergibbs and @JocelynWikle!

Say it with me: education policy is women’s policy.

This is one of the most exciting and important papers I’ve seen in a good long while. Looking forward to digging in! Variation in policy exposure, long term outcomes, and intuitive data visualizations to really motivate the intuition

Got one of my favorite recent research facts that can make you interesting* at dinner parties when I saw Chloe present this paper:
For as much as we (rightly) talk abt pre-k, growth in full-day K has been a much, much bigger source of childcare expansion

"full-day kindergarten expansions were responsible for as much as 24 percent of the growth in employment of mothers with kindergarten-aged children in this time frame" #edpolicy #scipol #workingmoms

COVID-19 vaccine mandates at U.S. universities saved *a lot* of lives.

My daughter just took a career aptitude test. Much to her dismay, the test said she would be an excellent . . . economist. And to add insult to injury, the second suggestion was an economics professor. I guess the invisible hand doesn't fall far from the tree.

Brookings has launched the State Safety Net Interactive tool, based on the calculator I developed with @LShoreSheppard and @taraelizwatson :

Took me a long time but finally finished @kearney_melissa’s “The Two-parent Privilege”. Wow. Such a valuable contribution to help us think about unequal resources for kids. She has started a needed conversation of how society can foster more resources (time and money) for kids!

Really enjoyed talk by @JocelynWikle on non-financial benefits of Advanced Child Tax Credit. Prelim work but they find an 5% increase in away from home parent-child engagement for every $100 dollar increase tax credit. #TimeUse @UMD_MPRC Powered by @ipums (1/2)

In new research, @AshleyForbush and @JocelynWikle use SEM analysis of CDS 2002 and 2007 to examine how mother's parenting practices during childhood relate to later adolescent sexual outcomes.

As a kid, I didn't appreciate Mr. Roger's need to change into comfy clothes the second he got home from anywhere.
There is social value in investing in families with children. I'm honored to have my work with @1rileywilson on Head Start and maternal employment cited in this year's report.
