UK birth rate plummets

[Notch7]

These are just your opinions.

Those issues I mentioned are all true.

Given Tories have been in power for most of last 50 years, it must be their fault.

In any case the evidence proves it is true

 

[Notch7]

im not confusing anything read what it says your the one who said you couldnt understand it
Mind you also seem to think that the Tories have effected the birth rate in many major countries such as USA , France , Germany , Australia etc all showing record falls ... Strange that

Falling birth rate is not related to fertility.

USA has same wealth inequality issues as UK

France Germany and Australia all have higher birth rates.

I am sorry you are always wrong, maybe you should stick to plumbing

are you for real. the stats are there .
As for the others They are recording lows for their countries

 

[transam]

China
Japan
South Korea

Have falling birth rates ?

Obviously China had that 1 child policy which is or will cause issues

China no longer has 1 child policy it officially finished in 2016 with married couples now allowed 3
Ended due to low fertility rates

Yes they had to amend it due to issues or future issues

Low birth rate is not low fertility

If it was low fertility rate then ending the rule would make no difference

are you really that stupid or do you not understand what fertility actually means ?

So what happened in 2021 to cause the drastic fall, there wasn't some sort of mass medical intervention administered to the population was there you know - one that messed with women's periods perhaps- that has a correlation to the figures published. P.S it has nothing to do with lizards.

Newly published UK government data has revealed that the fertility rates in England and Wales have now plummeted to the lowest levels since records began in 1938.
The shocking plunge was revealed in new figures from the government’s Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The new ONS data shows that birth rates are continuing to fall since 2021.

If you want info to shed light on some of the "points" raised there is plenty on the NOS but more detail is going to be in spreadsheets -

When a couple decide to start a family, the decision often takes into account stability, security, and a home of their own,

and when they do how does this effect their actual fertility ?

I see you are confusing fertility, meaning ability to reproduce

With birthrate, meaning number of babies in the population.

Are you not aware of contraception?

For all I know, the Pope might be biologically fertile.

It should be seen as a good thing.
Lower birth rate = less people = less consumption = less pollution!
Also less houses = more farm land = less requirement on fertilisers.

Less people to pay taxes and national insurance to pay the pensions of the old folk who worked all their lives paying tax and national insurance to pay the pensions of the old folk back then.
