Is COVID Causing Canada's Birth Rate to Fall? - a podcast by TVO | Steve Paikin

Following years of slow, steady decline, Canada's fertility rate is now at an all-time low and COVID-19 is partially to blame. In 2020, as the pandemic began, the country went from a near 4 per cent drop in births and the lowest number of births in nearly 15 years. As many Canadians indicate they are delaying having kids, or choosing to not have children at all, we ask why this is happening and what larger effects it could have on the Canadian economy and society.
