Households in the Twenty-first Century: Marriage, Fertility, and Challenges for Public Policy
Both Europe and the United States have experienced a steady decline in fertility rates. While a number of factors are at play, one important economic determinant is the lack of wage growth experienced by women temporarily exiting the labor market for the purpose of childbirth.

This event is co-sponsored by Bank of Spain – Center for Monetary and Financial Studies (CEMFI) and the Georgetown University Global Economic Challenges Network.
