Motives Behind Large Families

The podcast delves into the motivations of educated women who choose to have five or more children despite societal trends favoring smaller families. These women tend to view children as valuable in their own right, rather than merely as a means to fulfill economic or personal ambitions. Interviews reveal a common theme where these women reject the modern lifestyle orthodoxy and embrace childbearing for its intrinsic worth. By valuing childrearing as a life-defining pursuit, they challenge prevailing views that often associate education with reduced fertility rates.
