Why more of us are going child-free

Has the pandemic pushed more people not to have kids? By 2030, the number of couples without children will overtake the number of couples with children. Despite initial talk of lockdown love and the ‘the makings of a baby boom’, history tells us that birth rates are likely to drop in the wake of Covid-19 and the recession.

For some people the pandemic, is the final straw, they won’t be having kids because the world is ‘no place for children’. Joining us today is Anne Hollonds - Director, Australian Institute of Family Studies.

In today's news headlines:

  • Victoria in a state of disaster, Melbourne’s stage four shutdown
  • NSW upgrades facemask policy as QLD traces flight case
  • Telstra backflips on cyberattack claim over mass outage
  • Nick Kygrios slams “selfish” tennis stars while pulling out of US Open

In today's Briefing we ask: Is declaring a fear of a post-Covid world being a reason to not have kids an over-reaction? Will the pandemic mean Australia’s population will go into decline?
