CCPR Director Bailey on declining fertility rates in the New York Times and NPR
U.S. fertility rates have been declining since 2007, raising questions about long-term demographic, economic, and social consequences. Professor and CCPR Director Martha Bailey is quoted in recent New York Times and NPR Illinois articles on declining U.S. fertility rates. Bailey explains that the drop may reflect delayed childbearing rather than a permanent retreat from parenthood.
