As women desire more children than they actually have, greater economic freedom could open the door for larger family sizes, a new paper suggested.
"Today, the primary cost of fertility is the cost of the mother’s time," Piano wrote."As women’s education and employment opportunities have increased , the average woman forgoes greater earnings if she chooses to spend time raising children." In other words, if Minnesota offered greater economic freedom, its fertility rate could look more like that of Kansas.
Greater availability in job choices and flexible schedules offer women the ability to both bring in income and raise a greater number of children, the research suggested.
