The past year has seen the highest inflation rates in over 40 years, and consumers have adapted by changing their shopping habits. That’s particularly true when it comes to grocery shopping.

While annual inflation fell slightly to 10.1% in the year to March 2023, figures for food and drink alone reached 19.1%. If you break it down further, for some food categories, the rate is even higher; for example the price of sugar has risen by a whopping 42.1% in a year.

Which items are people giving up as a result ? Are people still getting a healthy diet ? How else are consumers adapting?

In April 2023, the World Health Organization released a new report on infertility, which said that around one in sex people worldwide experience infertility at some point in their lives. The WHO’s Director-General labelled the phenomenon a major health issue and called for more research in an area that is “still under-studied…and insufficiently funded”.

The sheer proportion of affected individuals shows the need to expand access to fertility-related care and ensure that this issue is no longer sidelined in health research and policies. The WHO review was based on 133 fertility studies dating between 1990 and 2021, and showed that no region of the world is spared.

What are the causes of such high levels of infertility? What treatments are currently available for people with infertility problems? What could the consequences be? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
