Welcome to My Academic Website!
I am a fourth-year doctoral researcher at the Center for Research in Economics and Statistics (CREST). My research investigates the rise in union dissolution, examining both cultural and economic drivers behind this major demographic shift.
Ph.D. Dissertation Overview
My dissertation is structured around three key studies:
-
The Two Dimensions of the Retreat from Marriage – I examine how manufacturing job losses have contributed to the rise in divorce, and how mid-20th-century Catholic religiosity temporarily delayed the rise in divorce and nonmarital births.
-
From Tradition to Individualization – I analyze union dissolution risks across birth cohorts, comparing immigrants and children of immigrants from Muslim and Southern European countries to the majority population.
-
A Stalled Gender Revolution—Except in the Working Class? – I compare the evolution of gender gaps in the labour market between social classes.
