Historically, wealthy, royal and religious families tend to have many children, which made them have an expansion, bigger support and a good example for society. During that time only men had to work, whereas the woman's duty was a home. Nowadays, with the equality of human rights, ladies have chosen to work the same amount of hours as gentlemen, therefore ending up not having time for raising children or consequentially wanting them.This causes a rapid drop in society's population as well as a decline in the union of families as a fundamental attribute, which before represented our ancestors as a main purpose in life. In turn, people do not recognise that as a main goal in their lives anymore. In this essay, I will outline the advantages and disadvantages the reasons for not having kids and how it affects society.
