Send us a textThe most common statistic cited regarding marriage and relationships in the United States is that the 50% of all marriages end in divorce. Another one that is gaining traction is that more Americans than ever before will end up unmarried and alone. Nobody likes these statistics. How did we get from the 60s, hairdos and stay at home moms, to a 50% divorce rate and a high probability of dying alone? Should we care? How do we balance the benefits of modernity – women in the workplace, higher incomes, more interesting jobs – with the benefits of structured families, love, and children?  Today, UVA Professor Brad Wilcox is here to explain to us how we can have both: better economic status and better family life. After all, the highest indicator of long-term happiness, meaning, and satisfaction is close relationships. He is the director of The National Marriage Project and the author of Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization. Want to explore more?Emily Oster on The Family Firm, an EconTalk podcast.Jessica Todd Parker on Beauty, Family, and Photography, an EconTalk podcast.Amy Willis, Could Too Much Division of Labor Be Bad? at Speaking of Smith.Erik Rostad, Friedrich Engels' The Origin of the Family, at Speaking of Smith.Patrick Fitzsimmons, Adam on Polygamy and Kin Networks, at AdamSmithWorks.Never miss another AdamSmithWorks update.Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Prince Harry's 40th birthday, Kate Middleton back at work, and ANOTHER dramatisation of that Prince Andrew interview. Headlines about the Royals are frequent front pages - but is this actually news? The monarchy is given a fairly easy ride in the media - rarely questioned, often praised, history erased. But why don't editorial guidelines about ‘due impartiality' apply to the royal family, when 40% of Brits disagree with its existence? This week, storyteller Kelechi Okafor and author Dr Laura Clancy (who wrote Running the Family Firm: how the monarchy manages its image and our money) join us to talk about monarchy in the media. How much money does the taxpayer spend on the monarchy? What is the actual job of a royal correspondent - and why are they all called Ms England, or Mr Dymond, or Ms Bond? And what actually happened during Elizabeth II's Empire? Plus, your weekly media storms. How the Trump campaign is playing the papers; how British tabloids got a pro-Palestine pregnant mother arrested for calling Sunak and Braverman ‘coconuts'; and what the Jewish Chronicle scandal reveals about our wider media's mistakes.

In this podcast episode, Emily Oster, a professor of economics at Brown University and author of books like Expecting Better, Crib Sheet, and The Family Firm, discusses her work and upcoming book, "The Unexpected." As the creator of the Parent Data newsletter and corresponding parentdata.org website, she focuses on bringing evidence-based decision-making to parents and pregnant individuals. Jamie and Emily pop the champagne for Emily Oster, who just hit 200,000 subscribers for Parent Data. The trio dives into "The Unexpected," which addresses pregnancy-related concerns and questions, particularly those related to the likelihood of recurring conditions from a previous pregnancy. Oster shares insights into her decision-making process, emphasizing the role of data in providing numerical perspectives on risks and benefits. The conversation takes a hilarious detour into the world of judgment—because who doesn't love unsolicited opinions on parenting, right? Oster advocates for creating a list of trusted advisors or "your people" to turn to for sound parenting advice. They also dissect the four-step decision-making process from Emily's book, "The Family Firm”: frame the question, fact-find, land on a final decision, and follow up. Plan for the sequel folks, Jamie and Emily also coined a fifth step.  The episode concludes with an impromptu live round of Ask a NAPS nurse Q&A. Oster steals the show as she delivers expert insights on how to approach the decision-making process for parents.
