In recent years, a definite increasing number of couples observed in western countries, choosing not to have children. Some people claimed that it has an overwhelmingly detrimental impact on society, while others believe

this

phenomenon has few positive aspects as well. In

this

essay, I shall draw upon a number of factors that reveal the both, positive and negative sides of

this

phenomenon.

To begin

with, there are clear reasons why couples do not want to have children in their life.

This

is because children are a huge responsibility and their proper

caretaking

demands an ample amount of time.

Hence

, Couples looking after their children end up having less time for themselves.

For instance

, a survey conducted at Stanford University, states that Parents are less likely to spare some time for themselves when their children are under 18. Another reason is that one must put forward someone else’s needs prior to oneself. 

For example

, a study by the New York Parent-Child Relationship Association found that 70% of parents likely to priorities their child’s need.

Therefore

, having no children is certainly considered as a positive aspect by some couples.

definite disadvantages.

This

is because there will be no inheritor and no one will be to carry the family name for the couple. To Illustrate, Tariq  Aziz, a well-known figure of Pakistan decided to donate his

wealth to the government as he does not have any children.

Moreover

, he is of thought that his name from the world will vanish as he does not have someone to carry his family name.

, it is clear that having no children is certainly a disadvantageous phenomenon. In conclusion, there are advantages and disadvantages to a couple having no children.

However

, if, in the future, couples tend to stay child-free

then
