[Futuregen] 2nd round of results: cohort analysis of caregiving

[Ricardo Rodrigues]

Dear all,

Please find attached a new version of the results for analysis on cohort 
differences in caregiving.

This version focuses on the gender inequalities and shows some 
components that will likely form the central basis of the paper, namely 
Tables 1, 2 and Figures 1a and 1b. The document also includes the 
abstract we submitted to the ESPAnet to give you a flavor of the general 
context and research questions of the paper.

We would really appreciate if you could read the document ahead of the 
meeting on Wed. Here are some questions/issues we would like to discuss 
at this stage with you and which supplement the comments added to the 
tables and figures:

Generally:

i) We will have one additional table with just descriptive statistics 
for the sample. While being mindful not to make the article too cramped, 
we are considering adding an additional short table just with a cohort 
analysis of how caregiving has evolved for the pooled sample and total 
population (women and men).

Some more technical questions:

i) Please bear in mind while reading Tables 1 and 2 that cohort is 
codded from 0 (1900-29) to 5 (1950-54). This is important to understand 
the interactions and coeff for variables. While we treated cohort and 
wave as continuous, just as Stefan and Johan did in their paper, we 
wonder if these should be entered as dummy variables in view of 
non-linear relations we found in Figures 2a-c.

ii) Related to i), we are curious to hear your opinion about which of 
the graphs reported in Figures 2a-c would be best suited to represent 
the results (although we would likely show figures for Table 2 only in 
the annex).

iii) Following Suanet et al (2013), we did a cohort-specific analysis 
(Table 2) to better capture the gender inequality effects. As we use 
non-linear and non-nested samples in this table, we would like to hear 
your thoughts about what tests to employ to compare the coeff across 
cohorts.


Looking forward to your inputs on Wednesday on this and the full agenda 
and zoom link for the meeting will follow still today.

Best wishes,

Ricardo
