Even if you haven't heard of Only Child Syndrome, you can probably guess the symptoms: Selfishness, arrogance, loneliness. Single-child households have doubled in the last 20 years and this hour we'll hear why those old stereotypes are dead wrong. We'll also take a look at what America's declining birth rate means for the future prosperity of the US and the world.

Guests:

Lauren Sandler, author of One and Only: The Freedom of Having an Only Child and the Joy of Being One

Phil Longman, Senior Research Fellow with the New America, Senior Editor of Washington Monthly

John Casterline, Director of the Institute for Population Research at OSU
