Liberal kids don’t want families
High school seniors are less and less interested in getting married and having children, and this trend has been ongoing for a few years. That means the young men and young women leaving college these days, and entering their mid-20s in the coming years, have less interest in tying the knot and having children.
TL;DR
- Birth rates have been falling for over 18 years, with a steady desire for children until recently.
- A study shows a decline in high school seniors' confidence in getting married and having children.
- The desire for children is plummeting among liberal youth, with a significant decrease in those wanting at least one child.
- Conservative and moderate youth show a steadier desire for children compared to liberals.
- Potential reasons for the declining desire include climate change fears, beliefs about human impact on the planet, systemic racism, patriarchy, and a decrease in religious belief among liberals.
