This week, the United Nations released its most comprehensive report yet on the state of fertility around the world. The report confirmed that global fertility rates are dropping, and that it’s not necessarily for the reasons we’re often told it is. In today’s podcast, we’ll unpack the findings of the UN report, how this is manifesting here in Australia, and how governments can address this issue moving forward.
