@ChrisMayLA6 In a country where coupledom really doesn’t require marriage or civil partnership I’m not sure this claim can be reliably stood up. Yes, we know that the birth rate has declined (thank god) but to see that as a problem feeds a certain far right agenda. To associate it with an alleged decline in measurable coupledom (I.e. conventional hetero marriage) just dives in to the right’s obsession with ‘traditional families’ — an obsession really about the ‘right’ people reproducing

Hmmm.... well as I said in the previous answer on this; its more an issue of how we navigate the associated social changes, and that may (for economics at least) be quite difficult... but equally I take you point about the Right attitude to these shifts
