More about the book
The book explores the tension between U.S. policymakers' calls for increased birth rates and women's resistance to having more children due to inadequate support systems. It highlights the economic implications of a declining workforce and the reliance on women's unpaid labor. While elite agendas push for higher birth rates, women face barriers such as limited childcare and healthcare access. The narrative suggests that recognizing their bargaining power could lead to significant advancements in reproductive rights and better conditions for parents.
