Description: A recently-published study claims smaller families are better for kids. The study, conducted by three economists who examined 26 years of data, says that children from larger families have lower educations and earnings and more criminal behavior. The study attributes this to the children receiving less time, attention and resources than those from small families. Is there any truth to these claims? We’ll examine it with Dr. Greg Popcak.
