The generation who can't afford kids

More stress, less friends, and fewer babies: These are some of the key trends that have come out of a major longitudinal study. The Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia survey, aka 'Hilda', released its latest annual statistical report on Friday. 

The findings show the lasting impacts of the pandemic on all Australians, including young people, whose well-being and social lives have taken significant hits since COVID-19… and are yet to recover. HILDA’s 20th report shows economic factors are having a major influence on our big life decisions, including financial and family planning.

To talk us through the latest findings, we're joined by the report's lead author, Dr Inga Lass, in today's deep dive.

Hosts: Sam Koslowski and Emma Gillespie
Producer: Elliot Lawry
Guest: Dr Inga Lass, Senior Research Fellow in the HILDA Survey team at the Melbourne Institute.
