EDITORIAL NOTE Sweta Shah and Joan Lombardi1 Children learn constantly from birth to the age of eight. What happens in these early years, starting with pregnant women’s physical and mental health, affects children’s long-term health, learning, and behavior. As babies and toddlers explore and learn to play peekaboo, they are developing thousands of neural connections each second. While children gradually gain confidence and independence, their emotional connection with their parents remains important throughout life. Parents and primary caregivers are children’s first and most important teachers, their protectors, and their emotional anchors. What a child is exposed to in his or her environment, the love she or he receives from a caring adult, and the opportunities available to him or her are the critical building blocks of life. When these building blocks are strong, children thrive. When young children experience

  • Parental Proximity and Earnings After Job Displacements∗
    Parental Proximity and Earnings after Job Displacements∗ Pawel Krolikowski y Mike Zabek z Patrick Coate x April 1, 2020 Abstract The earnings of young adults living in their parents' neighborhoods completely recover after a job displacement, while the earnings of those living farther away permanently decline. Nearby workers appear to benefit from help with childcare. Earnings improvements are larger in states with expensive childcare and among workers in inflexible occupations, and workers' parents do less market work following their child's displacement. Differences in job search durations, transfers of housing services, and geographic mobility are too small to explain the result. Our results are also consistent with workers benefiting from parental employment networks. JEL codes: J61, J64, R23. Keywords: Parents, family ties, adult children, job loss, childcare, transfers ∗The first two authors made equal contributions. We thank two anonymous referees for very constructive comments. We would also like to thank Dionissi Aliprantis, Joseph Altonji, John Bound, Audra Bowlus, Charlie Brown, Joel Elvery, Bruce Fallick, Olga Gorbachev, Darren Grant, Peter Hinrichs, Julie Hotchkiss, Susan Houseman, Fabian Lange, Mark Partridge, Roberto Pinheiro, Claudia Sahm, Bob Schoeni, Sam Schulhofer-Wohl, Jeff Smith, Frank Stafford, Mel Stephens, Bryan Stuart, Jeremy Tobacman, Erin Troland, and Abigail Wozniak for helpful conversations.

  • The Parental Responsibility, Child Custody and Visitation Rights in Cross-Border Separations
    DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR INTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT C: CITIZENS' RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS PETITIONS The parental responsibility, child custody and visitation rights in cross-border separations STUDY Abstract Divorces or separations classed as "cross-border" (parents of different nationalities or leaving in different Member States) lead to very complicated legal situations, notably regarding the relationship between the parents and the children of these former couples. An in-depth analysis of the national situations has been conducted in 6 Member States (France, Germany, Spain, UK, Sweden and Poland). In order to comprehend the breadth and types of problems connected to a cross-border separation of parents, various series of information has been collected and analysed for each of these Member States: available statistical data, international and European legal frameworks; national legislations and practices essentially linked to parental responsibility. Even though progress has been made thanks to the quoted legal instruments, notably the Regulation Brussels IIa, some difficulties of interpretation and implementation together with some gaps have been identified. Several actions may be recommended to enable cross-border separation in the European Union to be dealt more efficiently, notably in terms of mediation and international judicial cooperation.
