The forthcoming study on the rise of one-child families in the U.S. by Fady Mansour, a visiting assistant professor of economics in the Turner College, is the first to investigate the economic origins of the issue. His study, which is set for future publication in the Journal of Family and Economic Issues, uses longitudinal data (1968-2013) from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to examine the effect of absolute income volatility on the decision of having an only-child family.
