Paragraph 2
The United Nations surveyed over 14,000
in 14 countries on five
to make its report. One of the
findings was of the global
crisis. The UN said the high cost of parenthood is the biggest
for women not having children. Many couples want children, but they cannot
them. Nearly 20 per cent of adults believe they will not be able to have the
of children they want. There were other reasons for
birth rates. These include low salaries, expensive housing, and worries about the future of our world. The UN said one
to the crisis is to create "family-friendly policies, such as affordable childcare and paid leave for all
".
