At the same time, the economic crisis has forced governments to scale back public spending, reduce child support, and raise the retirement age, causing immense social conflict. Taking a step outside the disciplinary comfort zone, Whither the Child? asks how demography affects individuals and society. What does it feel like to live in a low fertility world? What are the consequences? Is there even a problem - economically, culturally and morally? No other book confronts so many dimensions of the low fertility issue and none engage with the thorny issues of child psychology, parenting, family, and social policy that are tackled head-on here."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aFertility, Human 606 $aFamily policy 606 $aBirth control$xGovernment policy 615 0$aFertility, Human. 615 0$aFamily policy. 615 0$aBirth control$xGovernment policy. 676 $a304.6/32 700 $aKaufmann$b Eric P.$0848446 702 $aWilcox$b W.
