📅 NEXT WEEK - 'The Great British #BabyBust: Should we worry about the UK’s falling #birthrate, and can we do anything about it?' hosted by the #ResolutionFoundation.

CPC-CG member Professor Ann Berrington (University of Southampton) and CG member Charles McCurdy (Resolution Foundation) are panellists, discussing why it matters, how, and if #policymakers should respond, and what we can learn from across the globe.

📰 "A pervasive feeling of uncertainty may be contributing to the #babybust. Ann Berrington, a #demographer at the University of #Southampton, has shown that #childless Britons who think they are faring worse than their #parents at the same age are significantly less likely to expect to have a #baby. #Lowearners are also more likely to remain living at home."

Research by CPC-CG member Professor Ann Berrington is cited in The #Economist.
