I'm 31 and single - am I leaving having kids too late?

One in six people globally are affected by infertility according to the World Health Organization and this figure is expected to increase in the future.

Sky's Charline Bou Mansour got a fertility 'MOT' check and investigated what was driving this global fertility crisis - from crashing sperm counts and ovarian disorders to lifestyle choices.

Has the power to delay parenthood led her generation to leave it too late?

Government policy has made housing so expensive. People don't want families if they don't have a stable home. Blame the government.

Who spent decades saying at school that the world didn't need more people because we had too many people? They forgot to say that it wasn't in European countries but the problem was in Africa, Asia, South America... Now women say they can be a mother at 50 because some famous woman was a mother at that advanced age. And nowadays women start looking for a partner to be a mother at 35 (look) and try to get married at 40 and be a mother at 50...
