📉 CPC member Dr Bernice Kuang was called on to discuss whether #fallingbirthrates are really something to worry about, for the latest #TheRestisPolitics newsletter.
Bernice described how declining #birthrates should not provoke panic.
Instead, #policymakers should use them to devise big picture strategies to help #youngpeople have #children if and when they want to, alongside creating solutions to #care for #oldergenerations as they age.
