Alarming figures laying bare the 'baby bust' reveal some boroughs have seen a 60 per cent decline in women having children since 2013.
Britain faces a potential underpopulation crisis due to declining birth rates, with some areas experiencing a significant decrease in children born since 2013. The falling rates, driven by factors like women prioritizing education and careers, and couples delaying parenthood, could lead to economic reliance on immigration. Experts warn that most nations could face underpopulation by 2100, with similar trends observed in other wealthy nations. Potential solutions include longer paid parental leave, more funding for childcare and fertility treatments, and flexible working options.
