That is one thing I'm also afraid of myself to be honest. I have many other reasons as well for not wanting children, but I considered, what if me or my partner were to die while the child was young? I cannot place that burden on the child. Sure, the child can get adopted or if only one partner goes, they can remarry, but what about the emotional burden of losing a parent? I have MANY and I mean MANY friends around me who are still 19-20 years old who have lost one of their parents, and the entire family had to be working to manage surviving since as students, there's so many hours of work they can do, and the rest goes to studying and school. It is extremely tough

We all had different professions, worked full-time, got degrees part-time, we all had our difficulties and made a few errors along the way. But the sheer joy of hearing a child's laughter, and the intriguing delight of watching them grow into becoming themselves is an experience I would have hated to miss! Being pregnant isn't fun. Being a mother, even when harried, is weird because you learn so much about yourself along the way. One's heart expands exponentially!

In the US, many millennials are dealing with crushing debt from student loans, higher costs of living, low pay but increasingly demanding workload, and difficulty accessing health care, especially child care.

@bobjacobson858 2 года назад

I believe the fact that there are many two-salary couples means the average family income, and thus purchasing power, is being increased, and thus prices go up, particularly for housing, making it more difficult for many one-salary couples to afford it.

The poor women would barely have time to eat their lunch and they would have to breast pump in a nasty bathroom stall that was never cleaned. This was also nightshift, so lunch was at 2 AM. That's when I realized they either had married the wrong husband, or at least should have waited to have the financial luxury of getting away from an employer like that.

No one should be yelled out for trying to provide milk for their child during their own lunch break.

@AB-fq4mr 2 года назад

@@Anni3ization I am not blaming the woman I am just saying she is putting herself in a risky situation because she has a husband that clearly demonstrated that he isn’t able to protect her and she has an employer she was in no position to fight against. Women like that are vulnerable and often become single moms, so it’s always worth thinking ahead of time for women what kind of backup they have before they put themselves in positions like that. The world is a cruel place sadly and a lot of pregnant women are vulnerable to that. A lot of women need to have exceptional resumes and a cushy savings account (that nobody should know about) before deciding to get pregnant. This woman clearly didn’t and she suffered for years after that incident.

We want our children to be raised with work ethic, manners, community values and basic life skills so they dont have to rely on others. We will grow our own food, raise and respect our animals. City living is just dreadful now. No one cares about their neighbors, everyone runs on fear, trying to keep up with the Jones.

It’s not easy to be a parent. I’m a parent myself and having children is a lifetime responsibility and sometimes it gives you a lot of stress and disappointments. To have or not to have a child is a Choice. It is a couples prerogative.

If governments want babies , its time to make it easy for couples. Parents work long hours. States must create the infrastructure and give economical help, for childs to be born. Here in Greece there is none of that. So how can i make a family ,when me and wife start work at 5 am and return at home at about 4pm? Who's gonna keep the baby? Do a comparison eith Scandinavian countries. You will be amazed by the way they treat their citizens. Tons of benefits and infrastructure. Thats the help we need!

@dergluckliche4973 Год назад

Scandinavian countries are facing the same decline in birthrates. I think a growing number of people simply view children as optional but feel they need to ascribe reasons to their choices, with "economics" being an easy justification. I'm married and we don't have children because neither of us wants them. That's it. That's all the reason we needed.

@drorgangtool Год назад

While I normally enjoy Palki's segments, I was a little disappointed that the entire segment seemed to focus only on the role of women in dropping birth rates. Men are having a huge impact on birth rates by losing interest in marriage and even intimate relationships. The percentage of sexless men and women has also been increasing over the past several years. If many men and women aren't satisfied with the state of modern dating and relationships, that needs to be addressed before we even begin to think about bringing children back into the equation.

I have an amazing time with my kids they all have different interests and personalities and each is it's own journey. Now I wish they were younger so we could have even more quality time together. Kids aren't right for everyone and no guarantee that they will be good. But in 10 years when you have run through most things you want to do and have 40-50 more years to fill I will be filled with endless opportunities to spend my time. I would say think about it a little more. Think of who you were 10 years ago and how drastically your wants, needs, and goals have changed and realize they will drastically change again in another 10 years.

I can barely afford myself I have rehome all my pets and I am single. I have eliminated everything possible to increase my free cash and its not enough. I have no life, I can barely afford gas AND groceries... it would literally be a crime for me to have a child right now. I'd be homeless. I have no sympathy for woman that were stupid and didn't take better care to not get pregnant. Yes I'm shading all those single mothers that got pregnant by their BF and he left. Seriously! Be more careful. I feel for all the divorced mothers but again still don't have much sympathy I saw this crazy world we live in coming way back in 2013... and made sure I wouldn't be anchored down financially by a child. So I'm sorry you have kids but you should have been smarter...

@Maialeen 2 года назад

@Susanne Boretsky Agreed that sympathy is difficult but once again you put it all on women. They did NOT get pregnant by immaculate conception. Men with equal responsibility got them pregnant and no one mentions them. They're just as unintelligent and likely even worse people since a lot of them choose to run away from what they did. Women don't get that luxury but take all of the blame.

Just 1-2 generations ago a man would spent most of his life working for one company and he would earn enough for his wife to stay at home and raise 2 or more kids but the number of jobs that can actually feed an entire family has gone done and most people have 2-3 jobs to make ends meet. I agree with your female perspective of better education resulting in less kids, but the low wages and constant job changes also lead to great insecurity. A lot of men are not confident enough anymore that they can actually afford a family. And this was before the pandemic.
