A Conservative MP says we should have children earlier, but can we really afford to?
Many theories are put forward as to why women today are having children later, if at all. We’re too focused on our careers, they say, too keen to travel, or wait for the right partner.
‘But, unfortunately, if you freeze your eggs after the age of 35 or so, they are not good quality enough to likely result in a later pregnancy, and I think it is quite unethical for commercial companies to be targeting women.
In the UK, some companies offer subsidised egg freezing, while others like the BBC and Santander have launched fertility policies. Most UK couples, however, currently have no such help in place to help pay for any fertility treatment they might need. And Cates’s advice to do it ‘sooner rather than later’ fails to consider another reason why UK women are putting offThe UK’s birth rate has dropped to an all-time low, and according to the ONS , women are having fewer children and having them later.
