With the UK’s birth rate set to increase by as much as 12.5 per cent each year for the next few years, the demand for midwives will be constant. The problem? There is a serious shortage of qualified professionals to meet this demand. As the majority of current midwives are fast-approaching retirement age, the Royal College of Midwifery is facing a shortfall of more than 10,000. Typically, midwives can expect to earn £25,586 (ONS).
