  Global Fertility Crisis Can't Be Solved With Financial Perks, UN Report Says - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-11/un-report-says-financial-perks-can-t-help-solve-fertility-crisis https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-11/un-report... | https://archive.today/667Qp https://archive.today/667Qp - June 11th, 2025 > The UNFPA partnered with YouGov and surveyed more than 14,000 men and women across 14 countries. Of the 10,000 respondents who said they wanted children, nearly 40% said financial limitations were keeping them from having their ideal family size. > The survey found that millions of people are unable to have as many children as they wish because of financial constraints, gender inequality and uncertainty about the future. > “This crisis is not rooted in individual reproductive decisions that fail to align with the needs of a state or economy,” the report said. Instead, it’s due to systems that “failed to create the economic security and personal empowerment that people say are preconditions for realizing their family formation goals.”
