My guest today is Melissa Kearney, Professor of Economics at the University of Notre Dame and author of 'The Two-Parent Privilege: How Americans Stopped Getting Married and Started Falling Behind.'
We spoke about the experience of raising children in a low fertility society, why feminists should care about pronatalism, the cause of the massive recent decline in teen birth rates, and why young women deserve to be given better information about their fertility options.
