Ok to be fair I have not read the WSJ piece yet but it's weird to me how much this convo focuses on highly educated, clearly well-off women. They are the ones still getting married.

Taught from Melissa S. Kearney’s fabulous book tonight. I love hearing my students work through the economics of marriage, fertility declines, and pro-family policy. Always one of my favorite days of the summer!

Very excited to read this!!

It's so weird that the graph for fertility v. female education and the graph for fertility v. male education look basically the same but you have probably only seen one on here.

📢BIG NEWS! U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. just introduced new legislation to bring portable benefits to independent workers! I had the chance to join him on Capitol Hill today to talk about how we can modernize workplace support for a 21st-century workforce. Exciting step forward!!
