Why Gen Z Don’t Want Kids

Episode Description from the Publisher

Fewer young people are rushing into parenthood, and Gen Z is at the center of a major shift in how the next generation thinks about having children. In this episode, we explore the reasons some Gen Z adults are choosing to delay or completely opt out of parenthood. From the rising cost of living and housing to career goals, changing relationships, climate concerns, and shifting ideas about what a fulfilling life looks like, the decision is far more complicated than a simple “not wanting kids.” Is having children becoming too expensive?Are young people prioritizing freedom and career over family?How have social media and changing cultural expectations influenced the decision?And is this really a rejection of parenthood—or simply a different approach to adulthood? We examine the economic, social, and cultural forces behind changing attitudes toward having children and what this could mean for families, communities, and society in the years ahead.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-infographics-show-podcast--6317257/support.
