Finland reports historic decline in children under 18 amid rise in voluntary childlessness

For the first time, Finland has reported fewer than one million children under the age of 18. This decline coincides with an increase in voluntary childlessness. However, many people continue to face challenges related to conception, and some experience infertility.

To address this issue, we are developing a story focused on unintentional infertility and are seeking to gather personal experiences on the subject. We invite those who have struggled with infertility to share their stories.

Have you found it difficult to conceive? Are you still childless despite wishing otherwise? We are collecting accounts from individuals to include in our piece and are also looking for potential interviewees. You can respond via this form or contact us directly at [email protected].

Please ensure you include your full name, phone number, and email address in your response. The information gathered will only be used for this article, and your contact details will not be shared with third parties.

If you have faced unintentional infertility, we would like to know how long you have been experiencing this challenge. Have you sought help for infertility? If so, what kind of assistance did you receive?

Do you currently have children?

What do you believe needs to happen for birth rates to increase?

Would you be willing to participate in an interview or allow us to use your responses in our upcoming article?

If yes, please provide your name, phone number, and email address.
