Taking a step outside the disciplinary comfort zone, Whither the Child? asks how demography affects individuals and society. What does it feel like to live in a low-fertility world? What are the consequences? Is there even a problem—economically, culturally, and morally? No other book confronts so many dimensions of the low-fertility issue, and none engage with the thorny issues of child psychology, parenting, family, and social policy that are tackled head-on here. The editors have gathered together (from the 2010 STI Experts Meeting of the same name) a collection of essays that tackle these issues head-on. Both a paperback and a Lib Ebook are available from Paradigm Publishers.
