For parents, children, and those who are considering parenthood

The birth rate is falling; we need more flexible work arrangements and accessible daycare centers and nurseries. Is that really enough? What does long-term child care look like in a society divided into nuclear families? We’ll have an open discussion about the difficulties of parenthood and look for creative—and perhaps even radical—ways to address these challenges. Do we even need so many people to have children? What did we consider when deciding whether to have children, and how far off the mark were our expectations? What would we like our children to know about parenting? And most importantly: What kind of society do we actually need to build so that childcare isn’t the private responsibility of nuclear families but a shared project for all of us?
