在这篇文章中，我认为，与第二次人口转型相关的趋势是遵循两个轨迹，并导致儿童资源的差距更大。从父母的时间和金钱来看，受教育程度最高的女性所生的孩子正在获得资源，而受教育程度最低的女性所生的孩子正在失去资源。这些变化背后的力量包括女权主义，新的节育技术，劳动力市场机会的变化，以及我们的票价国家政策。我认为，美国人应该关注父母资源日益悬殊的问题，政府可以采取更多措施缩小贫富子女之间的差距。
In this article, I argue that the trends associated with the second demographic transition are following two trajectories and leading to greater disparities in children resources. Whereas children who were born to the most-educated women are gaining resources, in terms of parents' time and money, those who were born to the least-educated women are losing resources. The forces behind these changes include feminism, new birth control technologies, changes in labor market opportunities, and we fare-state policies. I contend that Americans should be concerned about the growing disparity in parental resources and that the government can do more to close the gap between rich and poor children.
