The fertility rate in England and Wales has dropped to a record low, with British women having fewer children than at any point since at least 1939 in a “slow-burn” economic crisis.
New figures from the Office for National Statistics show that the fertility rate, which measures the average number of children a woman of childbearing age will have, dropped to 1.49 in 2022.
