‘Baby Bust’: Why Fewer Young People Expect to Become Parents (2013)

A groundbreaking cross-generational study conducted by Stewart D. Friedman, founding director of the Wharton Work/Life Integration Project, reveals that fewer college graduates are planning on becoming parents. His new book, “Baby Bust: New Choices for Men and Women in Work and Family,” delves into the reasons behind this decline and explores how society can adapt to this change. The study also shows that both men and women now expect more conflict between work and family, which is a major factor influencing their decision to have children.
