Text for summary – a QUARTER OF ADULTS DON’T WANT CHILDRENText for summary – a QUARTER OF ADULTS DON’T WANT CHILDREN
Views on children are changing in the USA. Research shows that 25 per cent of adults do not want children. A quarter of American adults are happy being " child-free". Two psychologists did research on why child-free people might be different from " non-parents". They said non-parents are " not-yet-parents" (those planning to have kids) and people who cannot have children because of medical problems. Researchers looked at data from 1, 000 adults. They were surprised by how many child-free people there were. They said child-free people were more liberal than parents. Unsurprisingly, parents were more likely to be in a relationship. Child-free adults were a little younger and less well-educated than parents or non-parents. The researchers added that more research would find out why people want to be child-free.
