As right-wing governments seek to blame a rejection of parenthood, a survey reveals a lack of choice, not desire, stops people having the families they want

This article notes that “right-wing governments, including the US and Hungary, are increasingly blaming falling fertility rates on a rejection of parenthood”, as if today’s young adults just don’t want children.

But the author suggests that actually people do want children, and one of the main reasons they’re having fewer children is because they can’t afford many children.

Thoughts?
