1 Benefits or Babies: Will Social Benefits "Crowd Out" Children? By John D. Mueller Lehrman Institute Fellow in Economics, Ethics and Public Policy Center and President, LBMC LLC, Washington, D.C. Panel on Family Social and Government Policies World Congress of Families VI Madrid, Spain, May 0 [Slide : Title] At the World Congress of Families IV in Warsaw and WCF V Amsterdam, I presented a country-by-country model of fertility, which has since been published in my book Redeeming Economics and updated for last June's Moscow Demographic Summit. Today, I'd like to draw further on that analysis, using the United States as an example, to compare the likely birth rates if social benefits grow as predicted under President Barack Obama's budget and if they are reformed as Congressman Paul Ryan has proposed. [Slide : Gustave Dore: Arrival of the Good Samaritan at the Inn] The cover of my book features Gustave Dore s engraving, Arrival of the Good
2 Persons loved equally (including self) Samaritan at the Inn because the parable illustrates all the possible economic transactions we can have with our fellow man: the robbers beating a man and leaving him for dead illustrate crime; the priest and Levite who passed him by illustrate indifference; the innkeeper s bargain with the Samaritan illustrates justice in exchange; and finally, the Samaritan s devotion of time and money to restore the beaten man to life illustrates a gift. Crime, indifference, just exchanges, and gift: this is the range of possible transactions. [Slide : Augustine s Personal Distribution Function]. Augustine's 'Personal Distribution Function' Personal gifts/crimes are proportional to one's love/hate for the persons Gifts (express love) elfishness (assumed by Adam Smith an neoclassical economics) 0 0% 0% 00% 0% 00% Allocation of ow n wealth to own use Crimes (express hate). In contrast, the premise of today s neoclassical economic theory was expressed by Adam Smith in the Wealth of Nations with his assumption that every individual... intends only his own gain. Neoscholastic economics differs from neoclassical economics chiefly in retaining Augustine and Aristotle s theory of gifts (and their opposite, crimes) as well as exchanges. This also makes the neoscholastic theory much more accurate.
3 Economic fatherhood [Slide : Fatherhood vs. Homicide: 90% Tradeoff] Fatherhood vs. Homicide: 90% Tradeoff Homicide Rate per 00,000 R-square = 0.90 # pts = 6 y = 9.6x^-.7 For example, updating scholastic theory refutes the famous claim by economist Steven D. Levitt, featured in Freakonomics, that the U.S. Supreme Court s legalization of abortion in 97 caused the crime rate to fall -0 years later, by eliminating potential criminals. 6 In fact, there is a 90% current inverse relation between "economic fatherhood and homicide. Legalizing abortion raised crime rates immediately and with a lag. The Neoscholastic fertility model is also more accurate. Just four factors explain most variation in birth rates among the 70 countries for which sufficient data are available (comprising only about one-third of all countries, but more than three-quarters of world population). 7 [Slide : Per capita Social Benefits vs. Fertility]

When these factors are taken into account, a legacy of totalitarian government is also highly significant, reducing the birth rate by about 0.6 children per couple.
5 Total Fertility Rate,* 00-0 [Slide 7: Weekly Worship vs. Fertility] Weekly Worship vs. Fertility TFR adjusted for mortality (= x NRR) BF ZM ML GT ET NG IL VE AR IS UY TRUS SENO DK AZ CL EE FI FR NLAU NZ BEUK TWAM RSLU CN CH CA BG MD DELT AT GE CY RU HU CZ UA EL ES SI LV BY RO HR SK PT JP IT KR PE IN MX IE TH BR EG ZA PR MT PL ID PH JO 0 0% 0% 0% 60% 80% 00% R-square = 0. # pts = 70 y =.9 +.x Rate of weekly worship Finally, the birth rate is strongly and positively related to the rate of weekly worship. This is because all gifts of scarce resources whether rearing a child or worship require the same lowering of self and raising of others in our scale of preferences for persons. On average throughout the world in 00-0 (adjusted for differences in mortality), a couple which never worshipped had an average of. children; but the average couple which worshipped at least once a week had. more an average of.6 children. [Slide 8: Rates of Weekly Worship & Abortion]

It is also inversely related to the incidence of abortion, which (like crime in general) rises exponentially as the rate of worship declines. 8 [Slide 9: Total Fertility Rate: Predicted vs. Actual] Total Fertility Rate: Predicted vs. Actual *TFR adjusted for mortality (= x NRR: Net Reproduction Rate) ZM GT ET M L NG BF EGIL VEPE IN US UYMAR X DK CL IS BE IENOSE UK FI PR BR EE FR ZA CZ LU NL CA HU LT RU AT LV CH BY BG GE RO RS AU AZ TR ID NZ CN HR CY TW SI DE M D AM TH SK UA ES PL EL ITJPPT KR M T JOPH 0 0 Predicted Total Fertility Rate, 00-0 R-square = 0.87 # pts = 70 y =.e-0 + x There are four main reasons, then, for demographic winter, in order of importance: First, low rates of religious practice, which are associated with low birth rates and high incidence 6
7 of abortion; second, social benefits so high as to displace gifts within the family, particularly the gift of life; third, legacies of totalitarianism; and finally, finally, heavy reliance on fiscal policies which penalize investment in people-: so-called human capital.

Adjusted for differences in mortality rates, in 00-0 China s TFR was. after but.0 before abortions; India s. after and. before abortions, the USA.0 after but.66 before abortions. (Spain s TFR was.7 after, but.9 before abortions). 9 Based on all countries for which data are available (comprising about two-thirds of world population), the World TFR was.88 after, but. before abortions.

Because of the strong inverse relation between the birth rate and per capita social benefits, I project that the U.S. birth rate will fall significantly under current law, from about. to about.7 children per couple in 08. These projections indicate that the
9 Obama budget is likely to shift U.S. society to conditions approximating the Trustees' "High-Cost." The same projections indicate that the U.S. birth rate would remain almost exactly at the replacement rate under the Ryan budget--thus approximating the Social Security Trustees' Intermediate. In general, my findings therefore support Congressman Ryan's emphasis on reform of medical entitlements. Without reforms of the same magnitude as Congressman Ryan proposes, there will be no way to prevent a sharp decline in the U.S. birth rate, and thus a decline in the relative size of the U.S. population and economy. [Chart : Current and Projected Total Fertility Rate--Seven Columns] Year () Obama budget: Current law at CBO benefit shares and incomes () Ryan budget at CBO benefit shares and incomes Benefits or Babies: Current & Projected U.S. Birth Rate () () Same as Same as (), but (), but private private accts accts (Ferrara) (Ferrara) replace replace PAYGO PAYGO Social Social Security Security () Memo: SSA Trustees 0 Intermediate (6) SSA 0 Low- Cost (7) SSA 0 High- Cost e e e e At the same time, my analysis offers a note of caution on reforming pay-as-you-go retirement pension. Neither the Obama nor Ryan budget directly addresses Social Security. But I project that substituting private accounts for PAYGO Social Security retirement pensions, without reforming medical entitlements, would actually lead to a lower birth rate at least through 00 than under the current-law policy mix that President Obama proposes. The main reason is the additional forced saving represented by individual retirement accounts, which may not be used to raise children. As an economist I practice what has been called the dismal science. But I like to emphasize that my message is one of hope. All the unfavorable trends we have discussed here are reversible if we reverse the policies which caused them. John D.

Mueller, How Does Fiscal Policy Affect the American Worker? Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethics and Public Policy Vol. 0 No. (Spring 006), 6-69; available at 8 As Augustine noted, a crime is the opposite of a gift: taking from other persons their own goods. As with legal abortion, the objective facts remain the same whether or not the crime is recognized as such by human law. Augustine, On Christian Doctrine (Grand Rapids: Christian Classics Ethereal Library), pp , Data on abortion rates by country from update of section VII, "Global Abortion Summary," version, March 000, , 008 by Wm. Robert Johnston. Last modified 6 October 008, available at 9 Fertility rates should be adjusted for differences in mortality rates. The Net Reproduction Rate (NRR) represents a hypothetical woman whose experience matches the average rates of fertility and death of all women in a given year. (The Total Fertility Rate measures fertility alone.) An NRR of.00 indicates that each woman bears exactly one surviving daughter. The Total Fertility Rates used in the model equal twice the NRR. For example, the TFR in Mali in 006 was 7., but the NRR was.987, which corresponds to a TFR of.97 children per couple. In other words, in Mali the typical couple had about -/ children simply to compensate for the likelihood of premature death before reaching child-bearing age.
