People are being forced to wait before having children because of supply problems with affordable housing, Shelter has warned.

Research from the housing charity indicates that 18% of 18-44 year olds (equivalent to 2.4 million people nationwide) are “actively”” putting off having children because of high housing costs. This increases to 24% among 18-34 year olds.
