It reflects economic uncertainty, unaffordable childcare, precarious housing, and a mismatch between fertility intentions and the means to realise them. If young adults are to have the families they desire, we must listen to them and address the barriers they face. CPC and CG research continues to provide the data and insight needed to shape those solutions.”
