    America’s record low birth rates: should we care? Featuring Sociologist Dr Jennifer Glass

    We’re having fewer and fewer kids in the U.S. In fact, we’ve reached record-low numbers. But here’s the question: should we care? I am talking to sociologist Dr Jennifer Glass to explain the trend and reveal the most puzzling piece about it all.  Dr Glass is a Sociology Professor at the, University of Texas and the Executive Director at the Council on Contemporary Families. This is her life work. She’s done the research, commissioned the studies, looked at the trends and will break it all down.  As she tells me, we have a system where “mom just picks up the slack”. But, moms are fed up and starting to say NO.  We can’t call ourselves a family-friendly country if our policies don’t support the family and if money and power continue to go to those who ignore their families.  So, what’s our path forward?  Let’s Talk About It.  Listen in to learn more:  * Low Birth Rates and Family Policy | 0:00:52 - 0:02:36  * Global Concerns About Declining Birth Rates | 0:07:51 - 0:09:29 * Support for Families | 0:14:26 - 0:15:47 * Rethinking Office Metrics for Remote Work | 0:20:20 - 0:21:32  * Tax Pinch vs Social Insurance | 0:23:12 - 0:23:47 * Shared Responsibility for Family Leave | 0:26:30 - 0:27:28  * Lack of Family-Friendly Policies | 0:31:36 - 0:32:36  * American Individualism Impact on Children | 0:35:57 - 0:37:21  SUMMARY: In this insightful episode, Paula and Dr. Stephanie Glass highlight the challenges families face due to inadequate family-friendly policies, comparing U.S. approaches to those in Europe. Dr. Glass emphasizes the need for systemic changes to bolster families and the economy, offering hope through collaborative efforts and community-driven solutions.   LINKS:  Learn more about Dr. Stephanie Glass  Council on Contemporary Families  https://sites.utexas.edu/contemporaryfamilies/ THE CARRY ALL NEWSLETTER by and for working moms https://carrymedia.com/the-carry-all/  SIGNUP  FOR PAULA’S NEWSLETTER https://www.paulafarisofficial.com/newsletter  FOLLOW PAULA ON INSTAGRAM   https://www.instagram.com/paulafaris/?hl=en Learn more about your ad choices.

    I get so fired up talking about this issue. We talk a lot about how we’re pro-family in this country.

    HOT TOPICS: Why Women Are Leaving the Workforce with Neha Ruch from Mother Untitled

    We’re talking hot topics throughout Season Three of The Paula Faris Show and one of the hottest topics is this: Women are leaving the workplace because it simply doesn’t work for them. 1 in 3 women are planning on “pausing” and nearly half are considering downshifting, to lean into family life.  What’s behind this trend? And, how can we support women throughout their entire journey of kids and career?  I’ve invited Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled, to the conversation to talk about why women are leaving the workforce, plus how we can reframe the way we think and talk about “at-home” parents.  Motherhood Untitled is the leading platform for ambitious women who are leaning into family life. Neha and I have a very honest and spirited conversation about the pros and cons of leaving the workforce and how we can put an end to the #MommyWars.  Life Happens.
