Is the cost of living killing Britainâs birth rate?
GB News presenter Miriam Cates is in Brighton to speak to the public about why the UKâs birth rate is plummeting.
Researchers said soaring house prices and shrinking living space were increasingly stopping Britons from having the number of children they actually want. The stark warning comes as Britainâs fertility rate has slumped to a record low of just 1.41 children per woman â far below the level needed to sustain the population.
Experts say the steep decline is altering the age structure of the country, which is threatening long-term economic growth and placing an unsustainable financial burden on public services. At the same time, more than eight in ten Britons say the cost and availability of family homes is making it harder for people to marry and start families, according to the research published by the Family Education Trust.
Nearly three-quarters said the type and size of housing available had a major impact on decisions about having children. And almost two-thirds said improving access to affordable family-sized housing would encourage more people to marry and have children.
