Fertility rates decline – so the thinking once went – as incomes rise: Women who enter the workforce tend to have fewer children, as do families in wealthy countries. But the scenario today is different. This intriguing research study by economists Matthias Doepke, Anne Hannusch, Fabian Kindermann and Michèle Tertilt notes that fertility levels are increasing as gender roles converge, support programs proliferate and social taboos lessen. This demographic shift also carries important social policy implications for economic development around the world.
