The early 21^st century presents us with vast variation and surprising shifts in fertility patterns around the globe, such as the flattening of the previously negative association between socioeconomic development and fertility. However, we also observe important regularities such as nearly-universal postponement of fertility. The work in the Laboratory of Fertility and Well-Being focuses on improving our understanding of the determinants of both the variation and regularities in contemporary fertility trends.   Detailed Description
