Professor Frances Woolley’s research on fertility rates in Canada has been recently featured in the Globe and Mail. In the section “Baby bust? Meh”, Professor Woolley details the long term decline in Canada’s fertility.
Here is an excerpt of the piece:
“Perhaps it is time to accept that many people today are childless by choice, and learn to live with it. Instead of bemoaning the lack of young workers, we need to do more to accommodate older ones, with more flexible hiring policies and simple accommodations such as seats for supermarket cashiers. And customers might have to accept that even though your latte is steaming hot, your barista may not be.”
