10:43 am .: Baby boom due to Corona?
It is still too early to count the babies conceived during the corona pandemic. There is a heated debate in industrialized countries about whether the pandemic will lead to an increase or decrease in births. Martin Bujard from the Federal Institute for Population Research believes that both are possible in Germany. “There are several factors why the pandemic could affect the birth rate.” Therefore, health concerns and financial fears could lead to the desire for postponed children. But it is also conceivable that the value of the family increases for many during the Crown period. “I still think that which of these mechanisms will have a greater impact is still open.”
However, all over the world there are signs that the number of pregnancies is increasing. While in Europe or the US this could be due to an increased willingness to have children, experts and aid organizations such as UNICEF agree that many of the new pregnancies in Africa or Asia are unintended, as a result of the lack of contraceptives, school closings, financial pressure. and sexual exploitation.
