Increases in babies

The Age has echoed our recent experiences in increases in the number of babies and young children in Victoria. This article also has some tangible stats which helps give some perspective to the issue, and I think is a more genuine interrogation of why this is occurring, in this case, attributed to the baby boom. I’m no expert so I could neither endorse or reject this opinion, but it is an interesting idea to add to the mix.

Of course, add we’ve mentioned before, an increase in babies needing placements added to a strained supply of carers, particularly those available for the amount of time needed to care for a baby (ie. not in paid employment) and its little wonder we’ve been challenged in this respect over the past few months.
