Cuando el niño nace con bajo peso, la madre recibe unas transferencias monetarias especiales.
🤔¿Efecto? La madre logra reducir su carga laboral en el corto plazo, y mejora las prácticas de crianza.

Let's have a serious conversation about the phrase "unskilled labor".
Economists have used that phrase for as long as I've studied economics. At some point I became inured to it falsely thinking it's no judgment, just trying to classify workers. That's wrong. It's horrible. 🧵
