Mythbusting “Voluntary” Childlessness
— The Last Social Democrat 🥀 (@LWPopulism) November 12, 2023
- 92% of Gen Z women want kids
- 80% of childlessness is involuntary
- Economics = main cause of childlessness, even for childsceptic women
- 72% of women deem motherhood socially undervalued
- More women want 4+ kids than none at all pic.twitter.com/b5jWykR9Bx
I'm "child-free" because I want to save the environment and
I can't imagine bringing a child into a world like this
and I just want to drink wine and go to night clubs and eat pizza.

I refuse to find a source, but it's been reported most women have fewer children than they desire

Polls about what people desire are useless, people just say what makes them sound good

This but unironically, if anyone reading this is bored Google "stated and revealed preferences"

One report was by income and >90% of all families thought they had just the right amount of kids or too few. Going to just the top quartile of incomes, it was roughly 100%. The split between too many and just enough was about 50/50, but this looked at families. It's known women want kids more than men so your claim without a source makes sense.

Men want kids, well at least one son to carry on the family name.

How come I've never heard of this?
I could solve this problem singlehandedly, just give me enough time
