书籍简介

安娜·路易·萨斯曼的《谁能生孩子？：在不确定的时代组建家庭》一书讲述了什么？

“揭示了为人父母差距的深层根源，并诊断出一个影响我们所有人的紧迫问题。生动而令人信服。”——莎拉·富兰克林教授

“现代文明面临的问题之一：下一代将如何诞生？”——克里斯汀·恩巴

几代人以来，组建家庭是生活中平常的一部分。但如今，人们想要的孩子数量与实际生育的孩子数量之间存在着显著差距，甚至有些人根本不会生育。在这个女性机会增多、不平等现象日益加剧、气候变化加剧的时代，谁能生孩子？为什么？

记者安娜·路易·萨斯曼在自己寻求为人父母的过程中遭遇了意想不到的阻碍，这促使她探索了在全球生育率暴跌的情况下，究竟是什么阻碍了我们拥有理想的家庭。从爱情、教育到工作，苏斯曼揭示了数十年来政策选择如何将利润置于人民之上，将个人主义置于相互依存之上，并导致人们越来越难以想象自己拥有孩子的未来。从韩国到丹麦，从美国到波兰，她所揭示的故事展现了当如此基本的人类体验变得遥不可及时，个人和集体所付出的沉重代价。

本书对失控的资本主义体系如何改变了为人父母的方式进行了独特而及时的查找，对于任何想要了解在当今这个充满不确定性的时代为人父母所面临的普遍挑战和成就的人来说，都是一本需要之作。

What is Who Gets to Have Kids?: Creating a Family in an Age of Uncertainty by Anna Louie Sussman about?

'Reveals the deep roots of the parenthood gap, and diagnoses an urgent problem that affects us all. Vivid and persuasive’ Professor Sarah Franklin

'One of the biggest questions facing modern civilization: whether and how its next generation will come to be' Christine Emba

For generations, starting a family was an ordinary part of life. But today, there’s a marked gap between how many children people want to have and how many they actually will, if they have any at all. In this era of opportunity for women, soaring inequality, and a changing climate, who gets to have kids, and why?

Spurred by the unexpected obstacles she encountered in her own quest to become a parent, journalist Anna Louie Sussman explores what is keeping us from having the families we desire, as birth rates plummet around the world. From romance to education to work, Sussman shows how decades of policy choices have elevated profits over people and individualism over interdependence, and have left people increasingly unable to envision a future in which they have children. From South Korea to Denmark, America to Poland, the stories she uncovers illustrate the deep personal and collective cost when such a fundamental human experience falls so far out of reach.

A singular and timely investigation into how parenthood has been altered by a capitalist system run wild, this is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the universal challenges and triumphs of becoming a parent in our uncertain age.
