Selfish? Career-driven? Dont understand love?What makes people decide not having child in their life?


These are some of the comments people who choose not to have children hear. Its one of the last taboos, and the decision can be met with disbelief, a chorus of, youll change your mind, or outright animosity - with women taking the brunt of the judgement.

 

Around one in four females wont have a child, the number is thought to be higher amongst men. But despite the growing trend, there is little research into the reasons why, or separating the experiences of people who are childless from those who are childfree.

 

This weeks Insight hears from men and women who made the choice not to have kids - what led to the decision, how family and friends reacted, and how they feel about the future.
