1 in 4 adults do not want to become parents due to financial concerns

A MassMutual survey finds that nearly a quarter of adults, especially Millennials and Gen Z, cite financial worries as a top reason for not having children.

These 18- to 43-year-old adults express a desire to maintain financial freedom and are concerned about the high costs associated with raising children.

This survey coincides with broader research, such as a Pew poll showing that Americans under 50 often prioritize lifestyle and financial stability over starting a family.
