Generation child-free: why is childlessness soaring across Europe? 

Same here. Plus I don't want to bring a child to this horrible world.

I love this world, but I agree that the world is over populated with humans I love people and all life, thus we need to consider other species 10,000's of whom have gone extinct in the last 100 years due to human activities. I chose not to have children and I wish everyone would at least until we reach a more earth sustaining human population. 6 billion people is the max how is the earth going to support 11 billion unless humans become very environmentally responsible.

@ blackpilled normie.

Three Fishes Society новый мировой порядок Why do you have a love of parentheses? Learn lisp if you love them so much. Also spelling.

I don't have kid because I didn't found a partenaire which whom I can make a stable relationship. In which I could see myself bringing a baby in. I think that I'm not the only one in that situation.

Lol I met the right man…he also doesn’t want kids!!! Why can’t people understand that “the right partner” will want the same things as you!

I agree with you that most of us don't expect our partners to have a higher income. And that there are women who CHOOSE to be chidless. However, there's the big elephant on the room everyone avoids talking about: PATRIARCHY. Men still see us as inferior. Just objects for their entertainment. They might not say it, but they do think it. Dig a bit deeper and you'll see. So, before they were obliged to start a family so they would get sex on a regular basis. Now, they aren't. Don't believe me? Ask them yourself in a way they will slip the truth (men LIE A LOT or say politically correct things that bias research, as what is being said by the lady in the video) or navigate through the forums where they speak the truth. I 100% believe you that YOU, as other women, didn't want children. Jody Day, who cites research FROM WOMEN RESPONDENTS (we don't lie as men do), says at least 80% of women are childless NOT BY CHOICE. So, if anything, voluntary childless women are not the biggest of our issues to address, but the outsatnding 80% of childless women are.

There is currently a population explosion going on in Africa. They are bucking the trends. According to Wikipedia: "the bulk of the world's population growth is predicted to take place in Africa: of the additional 2.4 billion people projected between 2015 and 2050, 1.3 billion will be added in Africa, 0.9 billion in Asia and only 0.2 billion in the rest of the world."

Japan has partially solved the problem of elder care and declining population by inventing robotic nurses.

Just because westerners are not having children does not mean other peoples, in particular Africans, are not. The birth rate explosion in Africa will add 1.3 billion new people to the planet in only the next thirty years. We may need to enforce mass birth control on large groups of peoples if we are truly concerned about over populating the planet. But western women who think that not replacing themselves is an answer to world overpopulation are wrong, because all it will do is hasten the demise of the current version of western civilization...replacing it with who knows what.

@@RoberttAvro Maybe it's better than Western civilization? Western civilization is destroying the planet.

@@monicaolsson7608 I disagree with you. Western civilization is what everybody around the world wants and that is why mass immigration into the west is occurring on such a large scale, and in a manner that is not happening anywhere else in the world. But I find it troubling when people say that ethnic western people should not have children and so their population shrinks dramatically. But the very same people call it "racist" to tell Africans they must control their massive population increase. In my opinion it is the very epitome of modern racism to constantly instruct European whites they should not have children but not say the same thing to Africans who are having a massive population explosion of children that millions of them cannot afford to feed or raise.

Read recently the average cost of raising a kid to about age 20 is 230k, rather save that and retire earlier

You are probably the same kind of person who think teens and young adults still using bounce houses is okay

This is why when some people edit Wikipedia, they sometimes use the term "Voluntarily childless" to explain the difference between people who choose to have children and people who can't have children due to infertility or other causes. Wikipedia helps me research things, but I can't base all my observations on it because Wikipedia does not take polls to determine population statistics. However, I can use it to find organizations who do take population statistics.
