How To Turn Around US Birth Rates, According to Project 2025 Group

[Libloom]

Two academics have argued that the "harmful over-consumption of schooling" is responsible for the plummeting birth rate across the U.S.Jay P. Greene and Lindsey M. Burke, both Ph.Ds, are concerned that other Americans may be becoming unnecessarily educated. An overview of their argument was published on Monday on the website of the Heritage Foundation, a think tank where Burke is the director of the Center for Education Policy and Greene is a senior research fellow.

Greene and Burke believe education policy discourages Americans from starting families in favor of attending university and also suppresses religious beliefs that encourage high fertility rates.

"Education policy also suppresses fertility by discouraging parents from choosing religious education in K-12 schools," they said, noting, "Adults who are more strongly attached to religion tend to have many more children."
