With the costs of living rising in the UK and millennials increasingly feeling the squeeze, a senior Labour minister has recently said that people are putting off having children owing to financial concerns.

We’d like to hear from you if you and your partner have decided to not have children because of these rising costs of living or if you feel your employment and housing conditions are too precarious to support a family.
