In this paper we use data from the GGP Push to Web experiment to determine whether mode effects can be observed in the association between life satisfaction measures and various objective and subjective socio-economic indicators. Mode effects on point estimates are commonly observed but less is known about mode effects in associations. The results suggest that there is little observable mode effect in the association between variables.
In this paper we set out a new and innovative way of analyzing large scale administrative data through network analysis. We construct a network of the 17 million residents of the Netherlands and link together with their family, colleagues, neighbours and classmates resulting in 1.4 billion links that reveal underlying, structural networks that form the basis of societal interactions.
Using data from before and during the pandemic, we show that people are postponing their plans to have children and control over family planning has been affected by access to contraception.
I used geocoded data of respondents to estimate whether the proximity to childcare facilities effected mothers working hours and how this changed over time. The results showed that proximity matters suggesting the density of childcare provision was important in structuring individuals employment choices.
We analyze whether centralized fieldwork processes increase data quality in the collection of complex life histories in the GGP.
We look at how the experience of being a grandparent differes between China and Europe. Despite grandparents being younger in China, there are many similarities in health, widowhood and employment levels with European grandparents. There are however large differences within China, between urban and rural grandparents.
We look at how the transitions into and out of caregiving differentially affect a caregivers health and how this varies across countries.
In this paper we examine how the relationships between parents and children differ across various parts of Chinese society. China has undergone rapid social transformation in the last few decades and there are strong fears that this may have undermined intergenerational solidarity. Our analyses suggest however that these relationships have merely adapted to these changes and we idnetify clear signs of persistent intergenerational solidarity.
Social policies are agorthims which distribute entitlements based an individuals characteristics. In this paper, we set out how these policy algorithms can be formalized and standardized to create powerful tools for policy analysis and provide nuanced insights into the distirbutive mechanics of social policies.
