  • The Terrifying Impact Of Single-Parent Households - Melissa Kearney - #689

    Melissa Kearney is a Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland, and an author known for her research in the field of economic demography.

    Declining marriage and birthrates frequently dominate discussions about the future of society, but what is the impact of separated parents on the kids who grow up in these homes? Melissa has spent years assessing the data, and her findings are absolutely terrifying.

    Expect to learn how single-parent households are massively worsening class divides, what happens to kids who grow up with only one parent, what is driving the decline in American marriage rates, what Melissa is hearing from both men & women who don’t want to marry, just how many of the problems we’re seeing in the modern world are downstream from single-parent households, whether the decline in marriage and birthrate are at all correlated, what can be done about this issue and much more...

  • Do You Actually Need A Father To Raise A Child? - Dr Anna Machin - #680

    Dr Anna Machin is an evolutionary anthropologist at Oxford University, a researcher into the role of fatherhood across time and an author.

    The modern world has made dads surplus to requirements in many ways.

But just how important are fathers to the development of boys and girls? And what don't we know about their impact?

    Expect to learn how fathers saved the human race when babies heads got too big, whether it's normal for dads to not feel love for their baby when it's born, the most important ways dads can bond with their kids, whether dads are more important to girls' or boys' development, what pushback Anna got for writing a pro-father book and much more...
