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".
