Womenâs labor force attachment and childbearing in Finland
This paper analyzes the impact of womenâs economic activity, earnings and take-up of child home care allowance on childbearing, using a ten percent sample from a longitudinal register data set that covers the entire female population of reproductive age in Finland in 1988â2000. Results show that a womanâs economic activity and income were positively correlated with entry into motherhood and to a lesser extent with having a second child. This supports the notion of a common pattern of this relationship in the Nordic countries. In the light of Finlandâs rollercoaster economic development in the 1990s, the effects of a change in female population composition by economic characteristics on the fertility trend were small.Finland, childbearing, fertility determinants, fertility trends, income, labor force participation, unemployment

A unified approach to the performance analysis of caching systems
We propose a unified methodology to analyse the performance of caches (both
isolated and interconnected), by extending and generalizing a decoupling
technique originally known as Che's approximation, which provides very accurate
results at low computational cost. We consider several caching policies, taking
into account the effects of temporal locality. In the case of interconnected
caches, our approach allows us to do better than the Poisson approximation
commonly adopted in prior work. Our results, validated against simulations and
trace-driven experiments, provide interesting insights into the performance of
caching systems.Comment: in ACM TOMPECS 20016. Preliminary version published at IEEE Infocom

Becoming Poor in Belgium and Britain: the Impact of Demographic and Labour Market Events
In this paper, we model the impact on the entry into poverty of a range of demographic and labour market events. Our analyses are based on longitudinal panel data from two countries belonging to a different welfare regime type â Belgium and Britain. The results show that while in Belgium the impact of most life events is relatively small, in Britain most demographic and labour market events significantly raise the chances of becoming poor. We link the observed poverty entry patterns to the ways in which economic welfare in Belgium and Britain is distributed between the three main systems of resources distribution: the welfare state, the labour market and the family. We furthermore find that the combined influence of the interrelated parts of the welfare regime on the role of women in the household economy is a potentially important explanatory factor.Life Events; Longitudinal Research; Poverty Dynamics; Welfare Regimes
