Lyman Stone
Lyman Stone is a demographer who has become one of the most-quoted voices on why people are having fewer babies. He directs the Pronatalism Initiative at the Institute for Family Studies and serves as Director of Research at Demographic Intelligence, where he builds forecasting models of fertility and family formation. A Kentuckian economist turned population scientist, he completed his PhD at McGill University and is a fixture in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and on podcasts like Modern Wisdom, arguing that falling birth rates are less about money and more about marriage, meaning, and the things people want but never get around to.
