The Future of Family: Insights from Dr. Catherine Pakaluk

OSV Podcasts

In this episode of Catholic in America, host Jason Adkins engages with Dr. Catherine Pakaluk, an Associate Professor of Political Economy at the Catholic University of America and author of 'Hannah's Children.' They delve into the falling birth rates in the U.S. and worldwide, discussing the economic and cultural implications. Dr. Pakaluk argues that large families can be a rational choice when accounting for non-material benefits and religious beliefs. They also explore pro-natalist and pro-family policies, the role of faith in family decisions, and societal perceptions of large families.
