🚨 New paper out! We show how Malawi’s 1990s shift toward a “modern family” ideal led to lower fertility, later marriage, and delayed first births. A clear case of how ideational change drives fertility transitions #women #family #children

A sudden shift in the narrative of the 1940s children’s radio programme 'The Adventures of #Superman' promoted racial tolerance & advanced civil rights in the post-WWII United States, @voxeu cepr.org/voxeu/columns/…
