A growing number of millennials and Gen Z are choosing to remain child-free, with financial concerns being the primary reason.
A recent survey by MassMutual in the US found that nearly 1 in 4 young adults aged 18 to 43 without children plan to stay childless due to the rising cost of raising kids.
Beyond financial worries, lifestyle preferences also play a role. Many young adults are opting out of parenthood to save for the future, travel, or simply enjoy more flexibility in their lives. This shift has contributed to the U.S. birth rate hitting record lows.
It is unclear whether the overall sentiment tracks in other countries, such as Malta. Would you like to have children?
