‘Really transitional moment’: what should we do about declining fertility rates?

The article discusses the declining fertility rates in England and Wales, which have reached an all-time low of 1.41. This represents a significant transition from a world of high fertility and high mortality to one of low mortality and low fertility. Experts warn that this trend poses challenges for the economy and public services, as a shrinking workforce may struggle to support a growing population of retirees. The article suggests that we need to adapt and find ways to navigate this "really transitional moment" in order to address the implications of the declining birth rate.
