what implications does the decision not to have children have on society?

Answer 1

Well it would seem that it may help society but does it really? But it really hurts your race.

Answer 2

I know probably a hundred couples. Only three mutually have no children. A few others have no children together, but they do from previous relationships. Even if the number of child-free people quadrupled over the next ten years, the population would not change by more than a few percent for another twenty years. In other words society will not change noticeably at all.

Personally if you did not have children, your life would be so much better, because you will be spared the needless headaches and expenses associated with having children.

Answer 3

1. Less children, perhaps, though one couple's decision to not have children cannot possibly offset the couple that has twelve...

2. It vindicates that idea that perhaps marriage is not just about procreation. That people find and bond to one another for a myriad of reasons.

Answer 4

It depends on the society and the persentage of people making the decision.

Answer 5

I think we need to slow our population growth. Our numbers are extremely high - probably the highest of any other species (plant and animal) on the planet.

Think about it: being the highest populace species on the planet, we are the most destructive - how does that impact our future? Or our ability to survive?

Answer 6

If many people decide to do that it will lead to slow population growth, decreasing population and ageing population. These affect the economy etc.

Answer 7

Extinction.

Answer 8

Later for society-----Dealing on another level, we are to be fruitful and multiply.Orders from the man above.

Answer 9

One less child left behind.
