Author of the insightful book “Hannah’s Children,” Dr. Pakaluk, a Harvard-trained economist and mother of eight, offers a unique and compelling perspective on Canada’s declining birth rate. Instead of focusing solely on statistics and policy, Dr. Pakaluk and her team opted to interview fifty-five mothers who have five or more children – women who are bucking the national trend.
