• Abstract: The fertility trend in developing countries has experienced a significant decline in the last few decades; at the same time, the role of women in the workplace has improved. To have a better insight of the causality of the rate of women participation in the labor market on the total fertility rate in developing world, this paper divides the dataset of 115 developing countries in the period of 1991-2018 into four continents group (Africa, North/South America, Asia/Pacific, Europe) and then applies a data-driven panel data econometric procedure to mitigate omitted bias. The results suggest that the fertility behaviors of women in the North/South America continents are influenced by their career choice; meanwhile in society of other regions, other factors might be more important to women when thinking of having children. In conclusion, policymakers can reference to the paper and formulate policies to have more incentives in making reproductive decisions and further research in the field needs to consider family policies and patrilocality of developing countries as important data.

  We evaluate the potential of the LinkedIn estimates to monitor the evolution of the gender gaps sustainably. Our findings show that the LinkedIn estimates accurately capture the gender disparities in Italy regarding sociodemographic attributes. At the same time, we assess data biases such as the digitalisation gap, which impacts the representativity of the workforce in an imbalanced manner.

  We investigate how seniority impacts the degree of gender bias exhibited in pretrained neural generation models. Our results show that GPT-2 amplifies bias by considering women as junior and men as senior more often than the ground truth in both domains. These results suggest that NLP applications built using GPT-2 may harm women in professional capacities.

  We employ survey data together with social media data to analyse personality, moral values, but also cultural elements of the young unemployed population in Italy. Our findings show that there are small but significant differences in personality and moral values, with the unemployed males to be less agreeable. Unemployed have a more collectivist point of view, valuing more in-group loyalty, authority, and purity foundations.
