Baby Bust, 10th Anniversary Edition

In the tenth anniversary edition of Baby Bust, Stew Friedman explores the declining birth rates in the United States, drawing on his study of two generations of Wharton graduates to highlight broader societal shifts. He examines how changing attitudes toward work and family, along with recent events like the pandemic, influence individuals' decisions about parenthood. Friedman also discusses the differences in reasons for opting out of parenthood between men and women, the redefinition of family, and potential pathways for organizational and cultural change.
