Why are we having fewer children?

Birth rates are declining around the world - Tom Gatti explores why.

In this episode of Culture from the New Statesman, Tom Gatti meets authors Madeleine Davis and Anastasia Berg, who have both written on the changing attitudes to child-rearing, to explore the reasons behind these changes.

They discuss why financial, social and romantic circumstances are leading fewer people to have children, and what governments and institutions can or should do to address the issue.
