“Why Are We Having Fewer Children?” by Dr. Katy Ross

Birthrates are dropping world wide, much more quickly than predicted. Why is this? Dr. Ross will first give an overview of declining birth rates worldwide, and then illustrate the specific example of Spain and their decades of declining birth rates coupled with their social policies and the state support of assisted reproductive technologies.

Dr. Katy Ross is a Professor of Spanish at Southwestern University. She studies Spanish film and novels and teaches courses about these too. Her favorite part of her job is leading a summer study abroad program to Granada, Spain. Today she’ll be talking about the changing demographic picture globally, with a focus on Spain.
