The Most Common Reasons Not To Have Kids Are Financial<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A new survey by the UN Population Fund<\/a>\u00a0shows that the most common reasons people name for not having more children are financial in nature.<\/p>\n

As Statista’s Katharina Buchholz reports, <\/a>among 14 countries surveyed, respondents named financial limitations or job instability as the most common reasons to have\u00a0fewer children<\/a>\u00a0than they desired in all. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Commonly, financial reasons, also including housing and childcare costs, made up the top 2 or even top 3 of the issues most often cited for lower fertility, for example in India, Indonesia, South Korea, South Africa, Brazil, Morocco, Hungary and Germany.<\/p>\n

In South Korea<\/a>, the country with the lowest fertility rate in the world, many respondents agreed that the cost of childrearing was prohibitive. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In developing countries, common and mostly financial reasons for limiting family size were shared among a large number of respondents, while in developed countries, these barriers were perceived as somewhat lower but still affecting many.<\/p>\n

In Sweden, only 19 percent named financial limitations – still the most common answer. This was followed by lack of a suitable partners and infertility\/problems conceiving.<\/p>\n

Lack of a partners or the partner wanting fewer children was more commonly found among the top 3 reasons to have fewer children in the Western world, even though it was also the third-most cited issue in South Africa. Brazil’s top 3 reasons was concern about the social and political situation in the future, <\/strong>while in Morocco, this rank was occupied by chronic health conditions or poor health in general.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
