Administration's attempt to stop TPPP sex ed programs from teaching "gender ideology" blocked. Court decision said this was "motivated solely by political concerns, devoid of any considered process or analysis, and ignorant of the statutory emphasis on evidence-based programming." bit.ly/4q1tlub

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Gotta love when the supermarket has a special display of matzah for Rosh Hashanah. Reminds me of the maple syrup served with potato pancakes for Chanukah in college. 🍎

Shouldn’t compare the 2022-2023 NSFG to prior waves: indeed, NCHS no longer provides the weights needed to test for change over time correctly

Ohhhh this isn’t good. New NSFG overrepresents more advantaged women- no surprise their fertility is lower at this age. yikes- did no one read the users guide which says don’t do this?!

Having children is a commitment to the future.
And too many people don’t feel secure enough about their lives now or in the future to make that commitment and have the children they’d like.

And until we address that issue, birth rates are unlikely to increase. My op-ed in @newsweek.com.

Low Birth Rates Are Here To Stay | Opinion

Individuals and families need to be supported by a strong social safety net that includes paid leave and a robust child care infrastructure. There are no quick fixes.

I made chicken soup
with purple carrots and now the soup is purple! That should be interesting at Rosh Hashana… maybe I can color the matzoh balls also

Working on new projects where unexpected responses so far have been “robots” (project about responses to declining fertility ) and “pickles” (project on post coital contraceptive behaviors). Going to be a fun autumn!

Check out our new brief @ccfamilies.bsky.social on the limitations of population projections for understanding future fertility patterns. The growing public discourse on declining fertility needs demographers voices and expertise, while recognizing the limits of our methods.
