Almost every developed country suffers from a birth dearth—in which average fertility is so low that a country fails to replace its population. Some countries have taken drastic policy measures to try to reverse this trend. Policymakers in the United States, however, have just started to ponder the problem and how they might try to solve it.


Though policies can surely make some difference in a country’s fertility (for both good and ill), it seems clear that religion and religious beliefs play a crucial role in both marriage and fertility rates. How should policymakers account for this?


Join us for an engaging conversation with the authors of two important new books that explore the source of the current fertility crisis and what we might do to fix it.
