Summary: This study investigates the impact of familial immigration background on children's time use. The results show that children in immigrant families spend more time reading, while children in native families engage more in non-structured social and other activities. These differences are consistent on both weekdays and weekends, and are mainly found among children of immigrants from non-Anglophone countries. Moreover, these time use differences do not change as children age.

Summary: This article introduces the ATUS-X diary visualization tool, which aims to address the accessibility issue of time-use data and expand the user base by providing users with the opportunity to visualize their own subsamples of the American Time Use Survey Data Extractor (ATUS-X). The online tool provides an easy point-and-click interface for data exploration in a visual form, benefiting a wider audience of academics, policymakers, non-academic researchers, and journalists by removing accessibility barriers to time-use diaries.

Summary: Recent scholarship suggests that immigrant selectivity can help us understand their labour market outcomes in the receiving country. This hypothesis is based on three assumptions: immigrants differ from non-migrants in their observed characteristics, there is an association between observed selection and unobserved characteristics, and this association drives positive relationships between observed selection and immigrant outcomes. This study uses high-quality data from the UK to assess these assumptions, finding that while immigrants in the UK are positively selected on educational attainment, educational selection has little association with labour market outcomes.

Summary: The study reveals gender issues related to time use in Colombia, where women are often associated with unpaid work and home care, especially in low socioeconomic levels. Additionally, differences were found by socioeconomic level, showing that higher socioeconomic status Colombians across all age groups are able to spend more time on leisure and recreational activities.

Summary: Approximately 75% of farmworkers in the United States are Latino migrants, and about 50% of hired farmworkers do not have authorization to work in the United States. These farmworkers face various chemical, physical, and biological threats to their health, which may be worsened by psychosocial stressors. Factors such as documentation status, lack of work authorization, and language and cultural barriers may hinder Latino migrants from accessing federal aid, legal assistance, and health programs, further exacerbating health disparities among US Latinos. This vulnerable population is also at risk from emerging threats like climate change and the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Actions are needed to protect Latino migrant farmworkers who are essential to US agriculture.

Summary: How social inequality is described, whether as an advantage or a disadvantage, critically influences individuals' reactions. This study examines how people choose to describe inequality and finds that race and gender inequalities are more likely to be framed as disadvantages for subordinate groups, while wealth inequality is more likely to be described without a frame. Additionally, the study reveals that the presence of chronic frames is related to the perceived legitimacy of the inequality, with race and gender inequalities considered less legitimate than wealth inequality.

Summary: This study analyzes survey data of migrant households in China and finds that most migrants are willing to integrate into urban life, but their integration efficiency needs improvement. Differences in demographic background and geographical location significantly affect migrants' decisions regarding urban integration. Family heterogeneity has the greatest impact on the degree of urban integration, followed by geographical location. The high degree of urban integration among migrants has a significant impact on their household income.

Summary: This article examines the changes in daily time use for mothers and fathers across social classes in Germany from 1990 to 2013. The adoption of the adult worker model through labor and family policy reforms caused a decline in adherence to the male breadwinner model. The study finds that gender equality in labor division is highest among full-time dual-earner couples with standard schedules, but has declined among lower-class couples in eastern Germany.

Summary: Within the context of the UK government's ongoing efforts to reduce immigration and increase expulsions, mixed-immigration status relationships have become contested sites where the boundaries of national belonging are challenged. These families present a complicating factor to the traditional citizen/migrant binary, highlighting the impact of immigration controls on citizens' lives and understandings of citizenship. The accounts of British female partners in relationships with 'deportable' men reveal longstanding gendered and classed barriers to exercising citizenship privileges, leading to a reconfiguration of their relationships with the government and citizenship institution.

Summary: The study aims to estimate the associations between area-level rental housing costs and severe maternal morbidity (SMM) and assess the potential mitigating role of publicly supported affordable housing. The results suggest that greater availability of publicly supported affordable housing could reduce the association between rental housing costs and SMM and reduce socioeconomic disparities.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between police use of force and birth outcomes among Black and White women in New Jersey. The results showed that overall police use of force was not associated with birth outcomes, but racialized police use of force was positively correlated with increased odds of low birth weight and preterm birth among Black women. These findings highlight the detrimental effects of structural racism on the health of Black individuals.

Summary: The study reveals that maternal assets are more effective in preventing daughters' child marriage, while paternal assets are associated with higher odds of daughters' child marriage. This indicates that the link between economic resources and child marriage depends on the gender of the parent who owns the resources.
