It's Complicated

What questions do you have about the so called 'fertility crisis'? Help contribute to our upcoming new series the IT'S COMPLICATED PODCAST.


Fertility rates are a complex topic. Some believe that falling fertility rates globally is a 'crisis', but such a characterisation is controversial and often politicised. Many factors impact fertility rates, including economic uncertainty, cultural shifts, government policies, environmental concerns, forever chemicals, and hormonal changes.

We hope to explore these issues with our new video podcast on The Guardian’s new YouTube channel, It’s Complicated.

Your responses will help guide our research and may be answered by guest experts in our video podcast. Join the conversation by leaving your questions below.

Political writers at the time saw the patriarchal order of the household as the foundation of social order and ultimately national greatness. A sentiment that has parallels with pronatalism today, which we delve into in our latest video
