Ep 6 - Lyman Stone, Institute for Family Studies - The Fertility Crisis And What We Can Do About It

On this week's episode of the Sphere Podcast, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, Publisher of Sphere Media, interviews Lyman Stone, demographer and senior fellow and director of the Pronatalism Initiative at the Institute for Family Studies. We talk all things fertility and birth rates: what the fertility collapse is, why it's bad, why policy can have a role to play, and if so how. And, of course, his favorite book outside his area of expertise.This is our longest podcast to date because, once Lyman gets started, he can't stop--and this is a very good thing because everything he says is fascinating. Subscribe to the PolicySphere Morning Briefing: https://policysphere.com/subscribeFollow Lyman on X: https://x.com/lymanstonekyInstitute for Family Studies Pronatalism Initiative: https://ifstudies.org/pronatalism-initiativeSubscribe to the Sphere Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sphere-podcast/id1780831168Subscribe to the Sphere Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/48eWEcxSYDyrgjC3lO0EJZSubscribe to the Sphere Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB2gs2TBXeP7vyn9QUaaxjQ
