Millennials and Gen Z in Australia Prefer Child Free, Here's the Reason

Dream - To make plans to have offspring, usually husband and wife couples have many considerations. Some do it for mental, economic, or perhaps health reasons and ultimately decide to postpone having children.

Finally, waiting for one or several years to get pregnant until the situation becomes more stable. There are also those who, since the beginning of marriage, decide not to have children or be child free.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "The child-free trend apparently affects many millennials and Generation Z. According to data recently released by Australian research company, Red Bridge, more than half of the generation aged 18 to 34 choose not to have children due to financial challenges."

From the young generation who choose not to have children, 35 percent are educated with a bachelor's degree, 33 percent have an income of more than Rp32.4 million per week, and it turns out that less than half of them do not own a house. Kos Samaras, director of Red Bridge, said that this research is an indication that the current era and the younger generation are experiencing financial limitations to the point where they consider not having children.

"The amount that young people have to pay for rent or house rental is quite large, they also have HECS debt (student loans) and often live beyond their means," he said."

Samaras said he believes that the younger generation of Australia is likely to plan on having children later in life. Apparently, it will be more "difficult" for them. "For the previous generation, it took until their 30s to achieve financial security, and for Generation Z and Millennials, it takes until their 40s," he explained.

"Uncertain about Becoming a Parent"

Laura Henshaw (30) who works as an influencer, revealed that she deliberately postponed having children. She is not even sure if she wants to have children. She recently launched a podcast titled "Do I Want Kids?" and continues to discuss this issue.

Henshaw said that he spoke to more than a thousand people and one of the main reasons they hesitate to become parents is money. "One of the main reasons is the cost. So many people are worried about renting and having children and want to buy first," he said.

The cost of living crisis also causes the younger generation to rely on two incomes to pay for rent. This is why many of them need time to buy or rent a house because a single income will not be enough to support them, so they need more time to save money. Report by Aykaputri Amalia/ Source: NYPOST
