Louise White asks if society favours people with children.

Louise White asks if society favours people with children ahead of a conference discussing the needs of childless adults over 50.

Does society favour people who have children? Louise White takes your calls on 0500 92 95 00.

By 2030, two million people in the UK will be over the age of 65 without children. One in four women born in the 1970s will reach 45 without giving birth. This month a conference, the first of its kind, will be held for childless adults over 50 to meet and discuss their care needs in later life. And a BBC poll has found more than half of adults say they won't have relatives they can live with in old age.
