“Arguably, childbearing has become more of a privilege," says CPC-CG member Ann Berrington in a new article in The Telegraph, with CG member Charlie McCurdy agreeing that for many young people, even if they want children, "they feel like they can't afford them."

'Rather than trying to “fix” falling #birthrates, #policymakers should prepare for an #older #population – from rethinking how #oldage support is funded, to enabling people to remain in #work for longer. “Simply telling people to have more #babies is unlikely to work,” said CPC-CG member Dr Bernice Kuang' (Department of #SocialStatistics and #Demography at the University of #Southampton), who spoke with #TheGuardian last week about the latest #ONS #PopulationProjections.

Demography and life histories across the Roman frontier in Germany 400–700 ce

"Population genetic analyses reveal a major demographic shift coinciding with the late fifth century collapse of Roman state structures, when a founding population of northern European ancestry mixed with genetically diverse Roman provincial groups. Pedigree reconstruction and filia, a method for inferring the ancestry of unsampled relatives, indicate widespread intermarriage and minimal cultural differentiation"

The "Peak Child" Phenomenon: We have effectively reached "Peak Child," where the absolute number of young children has plateaued, while the "silver" demographic continues to climb rapidly due to increased longevity and falling fertility rates worldwide.

#PeakChild

Update:
That "demographic watershed" actually happened in 2018.

According to the United Nations and the World Bank, 2018 was the first year in human history that the number of people aged 65 and older surpassed the number of children under 5.

The Trend: By 2050, the number of people over 65 is projected to be more than double the number of children under 5.

📰 "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.
