There are fewer undergraduates studying chemistry. Should we be concerned?

In 2017, applications to study chemistry at university declined for the second year running, despite an increasing number of students taking A-level chemistry. It’s too early to know accurate figures for 2018 but it looks like the trend may continue. Should the chemistry community be concerned, and what’s behind the drop in interest?
