GLP1s for weight loss impact lives beyond health. My new paper shows single women’s marriage/cohabitation rates rise 29pp, employment among nonemployed women rises 27 percentage points after 1.5+ years.

I think this is really important and interesting. (And uncomfortable to talk about!)
I want to share a point I made about GLP-1 cohorts being inherently non-representative. It's a short read: open.substack.com/pub/elizarodri
Saw two close friends marriages end over the last year. In both cases the female partner went on glp1s lost weight and a real glow up, the male did not. Excuse in both divorces “I’m not living my best life, we’re not compatible” etc.

The media could not be played.
This is fascinating stuff. Sad that it is this way, but that GLP-1s can so impact this issue is an important consideration factor on their usage.
Obviously need more study but interesting, practical research.
Can GLP-1's improve health and macro fertility????
I would be curious to see how it affects fertility/birth rates if the women in the data set are young enough
