Thanks for reading ParentData! We recommend going to ParentData.org for the latest features and to easily explore all of my writing on pregnancy and parenting.
What is ParentData?
ParentData.org is a guide for parents, people who want to be parents, or anyone who likes to do their research before making a decision. With new articles and Q&As every week—along with over three years’ worth of writing—ParentData aims to give you the numbers and decision-making tools you need to feel more empowered as you make your own pregnancy, parenting, and health choices.
It’s written by me — Emily Oster. I’m a professor of economics at Brown University and the author of three books on pregnancy and parenting: Expecting Better, Cribsheet, and The Family Firm. I was named to the TIME 100 list of the most influential people in the world. I’m also a mom of two kids who likes to run and doesn’t sleep enough.
At the end of the day, I hope everything that I write helps future generations of parents feel more empowered and relaxed throughout their journey.
