Why Gen Z DON'T WANT Kids

Gen Z hasn’t simply decided it doesn’t want kids. In fact, most young people still say they want families. The problem is that many no longer believe they can afford the future that raising children requires. This video explores why Gen Z is delaying or abandoning parenthood as housing costs explode, gig work replaces stable careers, childcare and healthcare become increasingly expensive, and AI threatens the entry-level jobs young workers depend on to build financial security. We also examine why falling birth rates persist even in countries with generous parental leave and government subsidies. From South Korea to Scandinavia, cash incentives have struggled to reverse a deeper problem. Young adults increasingly lack confidence that their lives will become more stable with time. Meanwhile, older generations continue to hold a disproportionate share of wealth, property, and government support, leaving younger people to fund systems they’re not convinced will exist for them later. Gen Z may not be rejecting parenthood, they may simply be refusing to gamble another human life on a future they no longer trust. 00:35 - The Demographic Death Spiral 02:42 - The “Selfish Generation” Myth 04:31 - The Gig Economy Makes Families Impossible 06:49 - What the Great Depression Teaches Us 08:15 - The Wealth Gap Between Generations 11:16 - AI Makes Gen Z’s Future Even Less Certain 12:47 - Why Government Baby Bonuses Keep Failing 15:08 - The System Caused the Birth Rate Crisis 17:43 - Gen Z’s Quiet Rebellion Narrated by: Josh Risser 🔔 Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE! 🔔 SUGGEST A TOPIC: https://bit.ly/suggest-an-infographic... 💬 Come chat with me: Discord: discord 🔖 MY SOCIAL PAGES TikTok ► TikTok: theinfographicsshow Facebook ► Facebook: TheInfographicsShow 📝 SOURCES: https://pastebin.com/VT0T3KRs All videos are based on publicly available information unless otherwise noted.
