Over the years I have had four children, so I have been to a lot of playgrounds. I could write a book on the best and worst playgrounds in south east London. What I have noticed compared to when I had my first child about 13 years ago is that these days, I am often the only mother in the playground. When I had my eldest, there were lots of mums, dads and childminders with their little charges clambering up steps and zooming down slides, but now I am usually on my own. It’s just me and the little lad.
It can be eerie and it reminds me of the film ‘Children of Men’. That film (based on the book by the same name) contains a scene of a dilapidated, abandoned school and playground. The film portrays a world, a dystopia, after there is a global fertility crash caused by women being unable to have children for an unknown reason.
The West hasn’t been hit with a sudden illness causing total infertility and all the heartache that follows it. The West has instead freely chosen a baby bust. As explained earlier this year: “The world is ill-prepared for the global crash in children being born which is set to have a ‘jaw-dropping’ impact on societies, say researchers. Falling fertility rates mean nearly every country could have shrinking populations by the end of the century. And 23 nations – including Spain and Japan – are expected to see their populations halve by 2100. Countries will also age dramatically, with as many people turning 80 as there are being born.”
