I look forward to reading more. I am especially interested in reading more about the migration part of this equation. I feel sometimes as if we’re all in our silos so much that we can’t see the bigger picture.

@Sb – I don’t think that was Jennifer’s point. There’s some evidence that in the US at least women have fewer children than they say would be ideal. No doubt many reasons for that but social forces, social support, and work flexibility and gender norms definitely contribute to whether people decide it’s possible to have a family, or to have that second (or third) kid.

Well, maybe it is for the US. I come from a different part of the world where many of us wouldn’t think so. Anyways, it was an interesting read and good luck to Jennifer on her new book.
