More regulations, fewer families—explaining North America's housing crisis: Peter Copeland and Tim Carney

More regulations, fewer families—explaining North America's housing crisis: Peter Copeland and Tim Carney

Welcome to Inside Policy Talks, where we dive into the ideas and policies shaping Canada today!

In this episode, Peter Copeland, Deputy Director of the Domestic Policy Program at the Macdonald Laurier Institute, sits down with Tim Carney, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

In their discussion, Carney provides a comprehensive overview of the alarming trends around declining marriage rates, birth rates, and community belonging across North America. He shares insights from his extensive research, examining how government regulations, cultural shifts, and the erosion of civil society contribute to these challenges.

Carney also highlights successful policy approaches from other countries that prioritize family-friendly housing and community-building and explains how the housing crisis is intimately tied to the inability of young people to start families and put down roots in their communities.
