In this article, Folbre builds upon ideas offered by Kingsley Davis in his 1937 article “Reproductive institutions and the pressure for population.” Davis laments the growing divide between the family and modern social institutions. Folbre examines the connection between social changes and John Caldwell’s work on the demographic transition observed in the United States in the 1970s. She expands the discussion by noting the importance of distributional conflict within the family – how the capitalist labor market forced a change in the traditionally patriarchal family relationships. As many functions of the family, such as childcare and education, are shifted to the public sector, the role of parental authority has weakened. She notes how private and governmental retirement planning has slowly replaced intergenerational reciprocity and how employers invest in the human capital of their workers, much as parents once did.
