Why are Australians not having any kids? | The West Report
Australia’s birth rate has fallen to its lowest level in history, and it’s not because people suddenly hate the idea of having children. Because they can’t afford them.
With rising house prices, insecure jobs, stagnant wages and the brutal cost of living, starting a family has gone from a necessity to a luxury. In this episode, Josh dives into the data behind Australia’s fertility crisis and explores how economic inequality, housing unaffordability and policy failures are depriving young Australians of their own futures.
