The Understanding Fertility special report, published in The Times, discusses why fertility education in schools is vital, as well as the pros and cons of online fertility forums. It explores why male fertility needs to become a priority, how femtech could tackle the stigma holding back fertility awareness in Africa, and how advances in both technology and society have made it easier than ever for single and same-sex parents to have a family. Also featured is comment on whether employers are responsible for supporting staff struggling with fertility issues, and an infographic examining the disparities in global birth rates
