Course Description:
This course covers the choices people make about fertility, birth control, childcare and the policy and social environments that shape those choices. Topics include reasons for and effects of long-term decreases in fertility rates; the impacts of access to abortion and other birth control on education, careers, domestic violence, and the timing of births; the baby boom; how sensitive people are to the price of birth control; what we know about insurance coverage of birth control; and effects of pro-natalist and anti-fertility policies. |
