CPC-CG's Bernice Kuang, a research fellow in #demography at the University of #Southampton, claimed #Londoners still wanted to have an average of two #children, but that this was not feasible for many in the #capital.

She blamed a shift from #socialhousing to private #renting in inner #London, adding that "private rented accommodation is not seen as the place to start a #family".

Feminicide is reshaping Mexico’s demographic future. Between 2000 and 2019, nearly 50,000 women were murdered. Study by @itzeldiazj & Victor Garcia-Guerrero shows that eliminating these gender-based killings could raise women’s life expectancy at birth by up to five years. #Feminicide #Mexico #Demography #GenderViolence

Today, CPC-CG's Bernice Kuang is a guest speaker at the #Economy, #Culture and #Skills Committee as they investigate current and projected #trends relating to #birthrates and the number of #children in #London, and the causes for lower numbers of children in the capital.

The Committee also aims to find out the long-term impact a reduction in #youngpeople will have on London’s #schools, #businesses and wider economy.
