Birth rates are falling and fertility rates are well below
replacement levels. At the same time, the economic crisis has
forced governments to scale back public spending, reduce child
support, and raise the retirement age, causing immense social
conflict. Taking a step outside the disciplinary comfort zone,
"Whither the Child?" asks how demography affects individuals and
society. What does it feel like to live in a low fertility world?
What are the consequences? Is there even a problem - economically,
culturally and morally? No other book confronts so many dimensions
of the low fertility issue and none engage with the thorny issues
of child psychology, parenting, family, and social policy that are
tackled head-on here.
