Children & Families
Parenting in an AI revolution
Young Americans are reaching the milestones of adulthood, including dating, marriage, homeownership, and parenthood, much later than previous generations, and the reasons are more complicated than a rejection of family life. The 12th annual American Family Survey, a nationwide poll of 4,500 adults, finds that many single young adults have stepped back from dating, are reporting increased financial hardship, and are turning to AI for emotional support and advice. The survey also explores childcare, housing affordability, online gambling, parental rights, and the policy priorities Americans want leaders to address.
On November 20, the Governance Studies program at the Brookings Institution, the Wheatley Institute at Brigham Young University, and Deseret News will host an event to explore the findings of this year’s American Family Survey. Lead investigators Chris Karpowitz and Jeremy Pope will present key takeaways, followed by a panel discussion of how families are navigating today’s cultural and political trends.
This event will be open to attend in person or watch online. Online viewers can submit questions via e-mail to [email protected].
