In the @BBCNews article, @PerelliHarris discusses the @ESRC-funded UK Generations and Gender Survey findings which suggest that childless adults today are far less confident they will have children.

Image shows a man and woman linking arms walking down a UK high street in front of shops with text: We are running the UK’s first Generations and Gender Survey. Family life in the UK has been rapidly changing over the past decades. At the same time, economic and political uncertainty has increased, impacting employment stability and social mobility. The cost of living crisis has placed an unprecedented strain on families by limiting economic resources, reorganising how families care for their children, and disrupting activities outside the home. Young adults have been particularly hard hit, facing unemployment, difficulties with housing, and economic precarity. Through the Generations and Gender Survey (GGS), we are able to better understand how young and mid-life adults in the UK are transitioning to adulthood, forming partnerships and families, and coping with recent economic, social, and political uncertainty.

A great blog from CAMPOP @CamUniCampop covering three topics: old age and dependency ratios; births (and conceptions) outside of marriage, & Surname migration

New blog post alert!
Today, over 1 in 5 of the UK population are aged 60 and over. We tend to think that in the past, old people were more scarce. But was this the case, and how did it change over time?

CPC-CG Director @FalkinghamJane introduces the @RIBA Horizons 2034 Population Change theme, discussing how #populations may change over the next decade, and the challenges and opportunities for built environment professionals.

▶️architecture.com/digital-practi…
An introduction by Jane Falkingham According to the United Nations, on 15 November 2022 the world’s eight billionth citizen was born in the Dominican Republic. [1] The UN described it as “a milestone in human history” – the culmination of an era where dramatic improvements in diet, sanitation, education and income have led to better health, resulting in an acceleration in the size of the global population. It took all of human history for the world to reach its first billion at the dawn of the 19th century. The pace of change then quickened as the Industrial Revolution spurred on economic growth and social change, with the landmark of the second billion reached in 1930. Since then, the time between successive billions has shortened, with the result that, within the lifetime of someone born in the early 1970s, the world’s population has doubled from four billon to today’s eight billion.

Image shows person sitting in an office typing at a laptop with the headline 'Generations and Gender Survey data' and the intro text: The data from the UK's first Generations and Gender Survey (UK GGS) is now accessible from the UK Data Service data catalogue. Comprehensive new survey data collected in the United Kingdom Generations and Gender Survey, 2022-2023 reveals the changing face of UK families amid recent economic, social, and political turmoil. The survey team collected data on partnerships, marriages, and fertility histories from a representative sample of 7,000 people aged 18-59 in the UK. They asked respondents about their family, economic and housing situation, inter-generational relationships, as well as attitudes on issues like Brexit and the environment. The survey, carried out in the UK for the first time, was run by the University of Southampton in cooperation with the National Centre for Social Research, and the international Generations and Gender Programme.
