ONE QUARTER CHILDLESS: The UK statistics, collated by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, speak for themselves: among women born here in 1946, only nine per cent remained childless; of those born in 1952, 16 per cent are childless; for those born 20 years later, in 1972, that figure has grown to 25 per cent.
(That source also suggests that worldwide, 41% of women born in 1969 have no children. That I find hard to believe – no source is given: anyone found it elsewhere?)
TWENTY-THREE PERCENT – the net amount of Chinese carbon emissions that can be attributed to exports.
