The City of Raleigh’s First Civic Assembly

Last year, city officials selected 40 residents through a lottery system—and asked them to help design the future of neighborhoods served by new rapid bus lines. This process was part of a civic assembly, a model of civic engagement where a statistically representative sample of everyday residents learn about a public challenge and then work with officials and experts to produce policy recommendations. In Raleigh—one of the fastest-growing areas in the United States—officials wanted to get a diverse set of residents’ perspectives to inform a long-term plan for the city’s growth. After three

For Better and Worse: The Complicated Past and Challenging Future of Marriage

Marriage rates have fallen sharply since the 1970s, yet most Americans still say they want to marry. So why do so many people tell pollsters they have “no idea” whether they’ll actually end up married? And why are young women, for the first time, more uncertain than young men? In For Better and Worse: The Complicated Past and Challenging Future of Marriage, historian Stephanie Coontz draws on five pivotal periods of historical transformation to trace how shifting gender expectations, romantic ideals, and cultural myths have left us with contradictory beliefs and habits that make it hard to bu

One State Cracked the Child Care Crisis: Here's how they did it

What if child care wasn't just your family's problem to solve? In the United States, child care is mostly left to families, while care providers struggle with low wages and thin margins, and national reform keeps stalling. But Vermont did something bold. In May 2023, after nearly two decades of groundwork, the state passed Act 76: landmark legislation creating a near-universal child care system. How?

By 2030, the US population will be made up of more older Americans than people 18 and under for the first time in history.
