*New* Population Reference Bureau Webinar on The Fertility Gap: Why Wanting Children Doesn’t Always Mean Having Them (03/25/26)

Posted: 3/12/2026 (Local Events)

Despite global fertility decline, many people still hope to become parents or have more children. Yet wanting kids doesn’t always lead to planning for them, and planning doesn’t always lead to having them. Why does this gap exist?

Join the Population Reference Bureau for a timely webinar featuring two new studies that examine different dimensions of unrealized fertility. Luca Badolato (The Ohio State University) will present on “The Fertility Desires – Intentions Gap in the United States”, and Ester Lazzari (University of Vienna) will share her research entitled “Infertility and Unrealized Ideal Family Size”. This event is hosted by the Center for Public Information on Population Research (CPIPR) at PRB the Coordinating Center for the NICHD Population Dynamics Centers Research Infrastructure Program.
