Unfortunately, 20 years after the Hartz reforms, policymakers still struggle to implement adequate protection against child poverty in Germany. E.g. due to the collapse of the recent coalition, reforms planned for 2025 will not be be introduced #Kindergrundsicherung

Celebrating Brian Nolan’s Decade of Impact
Brian Nolan is credited with helping fundamentally change the way economics understands and thinks about economic inequality.
Brian Nolan has shaped research on economic and social inequality for nearly five decades.
On the occasion of his retirement, @inetoxford.bsky.social has compiled an overview of his impressive work: www.inet.ox.ac.uk/ne...
To me, he's also been an amazing PhD supervisor and mentor!
