Reason for decrease/delay in childbearing

  • Less stigma in births outside of marriage

    • 28% of 25-34-year-olds believe marriage should come before parenthood

  • Increase in cohabitation

  • Women have more options than just motherhood and often wish to establish a career first

  • Quality of childhood now comes over quantity of children

  • Beck-Gernsheim - decrease in stigma around being chilldess

  • Increasing costs of having children
