HELP! 37,000 BABIES AT RISK EACH YEAR

HELP! 37,000 BABIES AT RISK EACH YEAR

This report from the Brotherhood of St Laurence has found that an

social disadvantage. The explanation for this phenomenon is not an
increase in birth rates in disadvantaged electorates, but rather a
reduction in birth rates in more affluent electorates.
