#fallingbirthrates — Public Fediverse posts

Yesterday, CPC-CG member Professor Ann Berrington spoke with the Financial Times about the latest #OfficeForNationalStatistics data on #births in #England and #Wales. The data shows that, in 2025, the number of #babies born fell to the lowest level in almost half a century and continues the long-term trend of #fallingbirths going back over the past decade.

📉 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.
