📰 "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.
