ABSTRACT
In 1994, Haveman and Wolfe published a monograph titled Succeeding Generations. This title cleverly and succinctly captures the issues I wish to raise in the final section of this symposium. Creating the next generation is concerned not just with reproducing numbers through fertility, but reproducing citizens who succeedcitizens who will produce goods and services, pay taxes, stay out of trouble, and contribute to the economic and social welfare of society. To produce succeeding generations, most men and women must be prepared not only to have babies but to parent, and societies must be prepared to provide an adequate level of resources.
