New study has released personality profiles of 263 occupations.
Short thread of the occupations that are the most extreme with respect to each of the five personality dimension (I will mention only occupations with a sample of at least 100).

The weird thing about articles like this is that if they had asked a demographer, they would've known that there's a consensus that immigration cannot solve the problem of ageing populations.
More precisely, the amount of immigration necessary to keep the population age down is extreme and unprecedented. Infrastructure wouldn't even be able to keep up.
Some right-wingers will post the image of this old 2000 UN report called "Replacement Migration" without reading it. It actually concludes replacement migration cannot realistically solve population ageing.
It's usually a good idea to read what you're sharing (insofar one is trying to be honest).
The "7 times" figure did not come from the study with 25,000 couples (that's citing an old study, which doesn't replicate). The new large study finds small differences.
In a previous thread, I tried to review the research on this question. Generally, sex differences tend to be small, and are not rarely in the opposite direction of the claim.
There's a study from Finland with ~130,000 couples, reviewing multiple illnesses and conditions, which finds an effect in the *opposite* direction as claimed.
It must be a total coincidence that they don't cite such results
A comparison between fertility measures in Denmark -- or why over-relying on "total fertility rate" is a mistake
This chart shows three fertility measures: (1) the most commonly used "total fertility rate", (2) completed cohort fertility, and (3) the "tempo-adjusted" TFR.
Completed cohort fertility rate is actually the "true" fertility. I.e., it's the actual number of children women have over their lifetime.
The "total fertility rate" uses snapshot data from one given year at a time.
This snapshot of the fertility rate is imperfect because it reflects the interplay of "tempo" (timing) and "quantum" (level) effects.
As women change their timing in childbirths it creates strong fluctuations in the total fertility rate.
This one's easy to address. It was actually taken by the PhD student Raymond Gosling, who worked under supervision of Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin.
2) Watson and Crick did not steal Photo 51.
Maurice Wilkins -- who was head at the lab where Rosalind Franklin worked, and supervisor of Raymond Gosling (who took the picture) -- willingly showed the picture.
In this thread, I will talk about the issue of youth immigrant robbery in Sweden.
The reasons for doing robbery range from feeling bored, to purchase cigarettes, to feel powerful, to wanting to "fight the Swedes", to wanting to humiliate their victims.
In the 1990s, a distinct phenomenon of youth robbery became prevalent in places such as Malmö and Stockholm in Sweden. It was almost exclusively young boys targeting other young boys. The perpetrators were usually foreign-born and the victims were usually not.
A 2000 report showed that reported youth robberies had sharply increased between 1995 and 1999.
A school victimization survey indicated that about 1 in 5 young boys had been a victim of a robbery (or robbery attempt) in the last 2 years.
So I decided to look at car accident deaths over time in the United States, 1999-2022.
Is there any evidence that the female death rate suddenly drops relative to men's? No, the male and female *trends* are almost identical.
In the 2000s, there is a strong decline traffic accident deaths overall. But this is independent of sex, so clearly this isn't caused by this narrow sex-specific factor.
The homicide rate also fell from 2000 to 2010, so perhaps it's a more general decline in recklessness.
