Almost half of Generation Z have confessed that they don’t want to have kids - with one in three wanting to spend money on themselves rather than a child. New research carried out by CashLady.com has lifted the lid on 18-24 year olds opinions on having children, and how much the current economy is to blame.
Results revealed that 46 per cent of Gen-Zers don’t plan on having kids, compared to just 37 per cent who are and 17 per cent who are undecided. More than half of the participants confessed that the cost of living makes them concerned about starting a family, that they’ll never be financially secure enough to have children and would rather spend the money on themselves.
When quizzed about what they’d rather spend their money on than children, the most popular answer was their image - including clothes, beauty treatments and makeup. Another top priority was spending money on entertainment, such as nights out, day trips and eating out.
