In comments on the audience poll, Ann raised the importance of several conditions being important at the same time for people to be able to achieve their #fertility intentions - crucially, that free and high-quality childcare and #genderequity are necessary. Find out more in CPC-CG Policy Briefing 73, revealing the types of #childcare UK #families are using and the cost. The findings show differences between families depending on socioeconomic situation: https://www.cpc.ac.uk/res/docs/PB73_Who_uses_childcare_in_the_UK_and_how_much_does_it_cost.pdf

🗨️ Concluding her reflections, CPC-CG member Professor Ann Berrington says: "Success of policies should be based not on whether #fertility increases, but whether individuals are given #reproductive freedom and the ability to achieve their fertility intentions."

📋 Come along this Thursday 26 March to our next #CPCCGWebinar with Joseph Harrison from the University of #Salford.

Joseph will discuss a key finding in #migrant #healthresearch: although foreign‑born #populations often live longer, they may spend more of those extra years in poorer health. Using #Swedish #administrativedata, Joseph offers a clearer picture by relying on objective #patientrecords rather than self‑reported #health.
