Primes¶
- Recruitment Variability
- Immigration — a wave's size and composition is set by exogenous conditions in sending countries and policy windows, then shapes the destination's labor market and politics for generations. Open-source software — contributor cohorts arriving in a given year (after a viral post, a corporate sponsor) determine project capacity and culture for years, with current contributor count a poor predictor of next year's arrivals. Public health — birth cohorts shaped by famine, epidemic, or vaccine regime carry the imprint through life-course health outcomes as a primary effect rather than noise.
This sourceReviews evidence that conditions during early sensitive windows imprint birth cohorts' life-course health and economic outcomes.

The review documents lasting adult health effects on cohorts exposed in utero to famine and the 1918 influenza epidemic; it does not cover vaccine regimes.
“Despite the brevity of the health shock, children of infected mothers were about 20% more likely to be disabled and experienced wage decreases of 5% or more, as well as reduced educational attainment”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
