23. Tell me more about the Cost of Having Kids - Literally and Figuratively
Tell Me More...and Then Some
04/02/25 • 43 min
Have you ever wondered why so many people are choosing not to have kids, even as the global population keeps growing? It’s a paradox that speaks volumes about the world we live in today. From skyrocketing living costs to shifting cultural norms and the hyper-digital age we navigate daily, the reasons behind this trend are complex—and they affect all of us.
Today, we’re diving into the concept of social infertility: the idea that external pressures and circumstances, rather than biological factors, are leading more people to decide against parenthood. Along the way, we’ll share our own experiences, grapple with tough questions, and reflect on what it means to make—or not make—the decision to have children in the 21st century.
