Why more women today are choosing not to have children—and how it affects their overall life satisfaction

More PEOPLE (not just women) are having less children or simply choosing to be childfree. With overpopulation being the 1 cause of climate change, we think about what’s best for everyone/the planet. Not just our own households who are falsely brainwashed into ruining our health.

If women goes childless then in first degree man must go wifeless..

...you can afford to have kids?

'The link between having children and lower life satisfaction may be due in part to mere selection effects... Indeed, the association tends to vanish in cultures that are more pro-parents.' Please don't stigmatize the choice to parent or not to parent. Encourage and support.

I am a mother of three children. From my perspective that being a mother is another chance for a woman to grow as a better person in our life, the journey being a mother makes you stronger.

And what about all the child free women who didn’t have a choice about it?

The rivers of regret will flow long m deep when selfish hits 45 and on. Happy? Never met a happy one.

I never wanted children, but it's not because I don't think they're innocent angels because they certainly are! I'm just not mother material. Although now that I'm approaching my mid 40's, thinking about the future seems grim. Having a family is really all that matters.

Good for the planet.

“In 2015, 7.4 percent of 15-44-year-old women were voluntarily childless..” the CDC really polled 15-year-olds about this?!

It’s, “childfree,” not childless. We aren’t less 4choosing not 2add to overpopulation. We are literally free from it. Insecure/regretful people are the only ones who have a problem w the childfree. We are saving the Earth more for the next generation than the parents having them.

Totally agree. I'm childfree at 40 and not regretted it for a minute. The world is overpopulated as it is and I'd much rather adopt if I ever felt the desire to be a parent.

Provocative

If you want to lonely when your old then don’t have kids. Society need young workers. AI will replace some of this but how soon.? This doesn’t even consider the emotional cost of AI taking care of old people.

If you have no training agenda or any plan for the kid, it is better not to have one. Life is private and we are called to enjoy it. The new society requires only people who are ready financially and psychologically to procreate for the common peace.

Relatively true...

Evolutionary instinct 1 drives species perpetuation via procreation&there's No denying this. The species, Homo sapiens, love to imbue us w\\an arificial separation from other animal species, but, we are driven at our core, as they are to pass on our genetic heratage. RudyTanzi
