Juho Härkönen is Postdoctoral Associate at the Center for Research on Inequalities and the Life Course at Yale University. He is broadly interested in the link between families and socio-economic inequalities. In his doctoral dissertation (European University Institute, defended in November 2007), he analyzed the simultaneous joblessness of both partners of a couple (dual joblessness) in thirteen European countries. He has also worked on divorce risk factors from a cross-national and cross-cohort perspective. At CIQLE, his research includes examination of sibling resemblance and differences in socioeconomic attainment, and analysis of the effects of prenatal and infant health on educational attainment and mobility
