This timely volume brings together scholars from multiple disciplines to provide a more balanced, less alarmist perspective on the meanings and implications of these developments. Contrary to predictions about the end of children and the end of childhood, these investigations of developments in Canada and the United States, and to a lesser extent elsewhere in the world, show that fertility rates and ideas about children and childhood are not uniform but rather vary around the globe based on factors such as time, culture, class, income, and age. By exploring the influences that inform when and why people have children and how they choose to raise them, The End of Children? opens a new dialogue on the idea and place of children in modern society. 606 $aChildren$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aChild development$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aHuman reproduction$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aChildren$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aChild development$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aHuman reproduction$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aChildren 606 $aChild development 606 $aHuman reproduction 615 0$aChildren$xHistory 615 0$aChild development$xHistory 615 0$aHuman reproduction$xHistory 615 0$aChildren$xHistory 615 0$aChild development$xHistory 615 0$aHuman reproduction$xHistory 615 0$aChildren. 615 0$aChild development. 615 0$aHuman reproduction. 676 $a305.2309/04 701 $aAllan$b Graham$f1948-$0245493 701 $aLauster$b Nathanael Thomas$f1972-$01540897 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779196603321 996 $aThe end of children$93792791 997 $aUNINA
