The Fertility Gap: Why Wanting Children Doesn’t Always Mean Having Them

WEBINAR | MARCH 25 | 2:00 – 3:00 P.M. EDT

"Despite global fertility decline, many people still hope to become parents or have more children. Yet wanting kids doesn’t always lead to planning for them, and planning doesn’t always lead to having them. Why does this gap exist?

"Join us for a timely webinar featuring two new studies that examine different dimensions of unrealized fertility."

Panelists:

Luca Badolato, Department of Sociology and Institute for Population Research, The Ohio State University. “The Fertility Desires–Intentions Gap in the United States”

Ester Lazzari, Ph.D., Department of Demography, University of Vienna, and Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital. “Infertility and Unrealized Ideal Family Size”

This event is hosted by the Center for Public Information on Population Research (CPIPR) at PRB the Coordinating Center for the NICHD Population Dynamics Centers Research Infrastructure Program.
