Downers

#210 – This week we cover Jan Kabátek and David C. Ribar's study "TEENAGE DAUGHTERS AS A CAUSE OF DIVORCE," in which they showed that daughters ages 13-18 are associated with a higher risk of divorce in 1995-2015 Dutch marriage registry data. We get some of the details wrong, but that's because we were going off a four-paragraph Economist article. The Economist can be very terse (boring) when it wants to be (all the time). Plus: grandma wigs, shampoo as body wash. Plugs this week: Digital frames (Kate) Love as a commodity (Kate) Irish Spring soap, in bar form (Hao) Waiting for seedlings to sprout (Jack) downersradio@gmail.com • /r/downersradio • @downersradio on the twittersphere • https://hrf.org
