(Ottawa) - On October 16, 2011 The New York Times ran a series of articles about The Sustainable Demographic Dividend: What do marriage and fertility have to do with the economy?

This international study is co-sponsored by the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada.

The New York Times coverage includes lead author Dr. Brad Wilcox on strong marriages and economies; co-author Laurie DeRose on how immigration can help and Nicholas Eberstadt, demographer, on the “health” explosion with regards to the globe’s growing population, among others.
