Call For Papers: 2026 Reproduction of Society: Fertility, Family Planning, and Policy Design Conference
We welcome all submissions for the 2026 Reproduction of Society: Fertility, Family Planning, and Policy Design Conference. This conference examines how contraception, fertility preferences, and policy design shape the modern fertility decline. How do evolving contraceptive technologies change the way people plan, delay, or pursue childbearing? How do individuals form and update fertility intentions? How do they learn about pregnancy risk, career impact, and family well-being? We will bring together researchers across disciplines and fields to better understand the evolving relationship between contraceptive choice and lifetime fertility. This conference will be hosted by the Becker Friedman Institute for Economics on August 27-28, 2026, in Hyde Park.
All interested researchers are welcome to submit papers by April 3, 2026, through the link below.
