To each his/her own, but this seems very sad. I can't imagine not having kids. From Axios today:
An increasing share of adults under 50 say they're unlikely to have kids — and the major reason is, well, they just don't want to, Axios' Emily Peck writes from a new Pew Research Center report.
Why it matters: The U.S. fertility rate is at a historic low, posing problems for future economic growth.
By the numbers: 47% of adults under 50 without kids say they're unlikely to have them — up 10 percentage points from 2018.
Of those who said they're unlikely to have children, 57% said "they just don't want to," while 44% said they wanted to focus on different things. 38% pointed to the state of the world, 36% said they couldn't afford to raise a child, and 13% cited infertility or other medical reasons.
Stunning stat: 64% of young women say they just don't want children, compared to 50% of men.
