{"product_id":"generation-unbound-book-isabel-v-sawhill-9780815725589","title":"Generation Unbound","description":"Over half of all births to young adults in the United States today occur outside of marriage, and most are unplanned. This trend is driving a growing class divide. At the top are planners, who are marrying and having children only after establishing a career. At the bottom--and increasingly in the middle--are drifters, who are having unplanned children early, outside of marriage, and without the stable support of a second parent. This divide is contributing to rising inequality and decreased social mobility for both young parents and their children.\u003cp\u003eThe political right calls for a return to traditional marriage; the left proposes more social programs to help less advantaged families. In \u003ci\u003eGeneration Unbound\u003c\/i\u003e, Isabel V. Sawhill offers a provocative third approach: turning drifters into planners and thereby ensuring that more children are born into families with the means and motivation to care for them--and saving billions of dollars in social costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow do we make this shift? Drawing on behavioral economics, Sawhill offers recommendations for preventing unplanned pregnancy among young adults--for example, by offering greater access to long-acting reversible contraception (such as IUDs) to help stem the tide of children born to parents who are unprepared for the financial and social responsibilities of raising a child.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50363442921745,"sku":"CIN0815725582G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0815725582.jpg?v=1751107879","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/generation-unbound-book-isabel-v-sawhill-9780815725589","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
