PAA to Host Congressional Briefing on “U.S. Birth Rate Trends: Patterns, Drivers, and Implications for American Families”

On October 8, the Population Association of America (PAA) will host a congressional briefing on “U.S. Birth Rate Trends: Patterns, Drivers, and Implications for American Families.” The event will feature a discussion on national and international birth rate trends and evidence on the effects of policy incentives, such as tax credits and paid family leave, in impacting an individual’s decision to start a family. The discussion is particularly timely given the Trump Administration’s interest in encouraging higher birth rates nationwide. Speakers will include:

• Dr. Karen Benjamin Guzzo, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
• Dr. Melissa Kearney, University of Notre Dame
• Dr. Jennifer Sciubba, Population Reference Bureau

PAA is a COSSA governing member organization. RSVP to secure your spot!
