Religious propaganda masquerading as research. More to come later.

This was an excellent read. Well written, well researched. Dealing with an important problem that faces the world today, underpopulation. Treats a sensitive subject respectfully. I wholeheartedly agree with the conclusion, that the only way the government could possibly assist in fixing the birth dearth is to back out of the religious sphere and give back the responsibility to the churches to take care of people. Taking care of people is not the governments job, it is the church's job.

I read this while recovering from the birth of my sixth. I related a lot to what the mothers here said about their views and reasons on having larger (than typical nowadays) families. The anecdotes were interesting, but the best parts of the book were the chapter on economic demography, and the last chapter discussing policies. I had never considered before about the "free rider" problem inherent in entitlement programs. Some very interesting solutions are presented in both of these chapters.
Half a star off for some repetition.
