The choice not to have kids isn’t just personal—it’s a cultural earthquake.

Think it’s just a trend that young people aren’t having kids? It’s way bigger than that—it’s a full-blown generational shift that could upend everything from the economy to elder care. Gen Z and Millennials are saying “no thanks” to the traditional life script, and it’s not just about money (though that’s a huge piece of the puzzle). They’re rethinking what it means to build a meaningful life—and kids aren’t always part of that picture.
This isn’t some passing phase. Birth rates are plummeting, and the ripple effects are going to hit hard in ways most people haven’t even considered. If you think this only impacts parents, think again. A world with fewer babies affects all of us—sooner than you might expect.
