    🕒 Come along at 3pm TODAY (UK time) to our #CPCCGWebinar with Julia Behrman of @northwesternu. Julia will explore how shifting norms around having #children, measured through a new #US #surveyexperiment, reveal growing ambiguity and #individualisation in #childbearing expectations.

  7. A quotation from Orwell

    Society has always to demand a little more from human beings than it will get in practice. It has to demand faultless discipline and self-sacrifice, it must expect its subjects to work hard, pay their taxes, and be faithful to their wives, it must assume that men think it glorious to die on the battlefield and women want to wear themselves out with child-bearing. The whole of what one may call official literature is founded on such assumptions.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1941-09), “The Art of Donald McGill,” Horizon Magazine

  12. In today's #OfficeforNationalStatistics National #Population Projections, UK #childbearing rates are projected to remain well below replacement level.

    A new #ESRC-funded paper published today by CPC-CG members reviews how changing #partnership dynamics are impacting #fertility rates: demographic-research.org/artic

  13. "This paper examines the evolving inter-relationships between partnership dynamics and fertility across European countries and the United States and puts forward an analytical strategy to systematise these relationships." #childbearing #family_complexity demographic-research.org/artic

  14. I've pretty much picked out a fertility clinic to start with. Baby Nemesis won't be on the way anytime soon, but I can take the first step of a consultation now, so...why wait?

    I've heard people say #Trump or #Biden makes no difference... for #white #men perhaps. On the other hand, Trump 2.0 will rain down hell on #immigrants, particularly #Muslims and #Latinos. Trump brags about #MassDeportations. Remember the #ICE raids? Many more #POC will be swept up in the next one. It's already hell for #women of #childbearing years in half the states. Trump 2.0 will make it nationwide. You already see what is happening to #lgbtq people in red states. Trump 2.0 will take #lgbtq persecution nationwide.

    In addition to #StateViolence, #authoritarians establish a #PermissionStructure of #violence against disfavored groups. During the last Trump administration, #MassShootings of minorities and synagogues was rampant. I'm voting for #Biden2024 not because I'm a fan, but because I am thinking of all the people Trump will hurt in the US. #Voting one's #conscience in the #2024Election is a choice between a soiled conscience or a dead one.

  17. 🗓️NEXT WEEK - #CPCCGWebinar on Thurs 9 May

    Monika Mynarska, of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University, will be discussing the role of ambivalence and #psychological factors in #childbearing motivations, which might lead to weak childbearing desires or uncertain intentions.

  18. One drawback to delaying parenthood nobody talks about: 1% of women and 3% of men who are age 15 don't live to the age of 35. IOW, putting off family from your teens to your thirties means a 1 in 50 chance of dropping dead before you have any kids. Makes you think, doesn't it?

  19. Few things stimulate thoughts of "what if the past was different" and "what can I do for my future" than attaining the same age your parents were when they had you, with no beloved or child in sight. That's me this year.

  20. Exploring a society set up for young motherhood, youths' work being sex and babies and elders' being jobs and careers, takes you to some interesting places...

  21. Conservatives injected the poison of "children having children" into our society's discourse to criminalize young women for daring to *gasp* bear children, but nowadays that lie's most eager devotees seem to be so-called "progressives". Which is as sad as it is infuriating.

  22. With modernity's final form revealed as ever-rising virginity, singledom, and childlessness, is there hope for a romantic and fertile future?

  23. My mind also wanders to the plummeting birth rate. As the size of each new generation shrinks, your relative influence on it, should you choose to have what used to be a standard-issue big family, rises proportionally. A tremendous opportunity that's often overlooked... 🤔

  24. As I see all the riff-raff around me having babies it brings to mind an even better, if darker, reason to have children, and lots of them, than is usually voiced: do you want your inferiors to inherit the earth? 👀
