Essay topics: In many western countries there is an increasing number of couples choosing to have no children. What are the advantages and disadvantages to couples having no children?
In the modern age, especially in western countries, the ever-increasing number of childless
couples
has raised debates. Although
having a child
or not is fully dependent on the choice of the couple, it has both some advantages and disadvantages. This
essay will explore both the benefits and drawbacks of being childless.
It is said that children
are the blessing of God, however
, at the present time most couples
are satisfied with being child
-free. Not having a child
can have several benefits, for example
, those who do not have any child
have fewer responsibilities and pressures than those who have. Therefore
, they can provide that spare time for the welfare of others as well as
society. For instance
, they can engage in social work or work for other's children
. Moreover
, couples
who do not have children
can involve themselves in some creative works such
as music and art which would help them to grow and shine. For example
, they can dedicate a huge amount of time to practising music or other forms of art. But, if they have a child
, it would not be possible for them.
On the contrary
, there are definitely some drawbacks to not having a child
. Those who are not interested in childbearing, are regarded as different in the eye of society. Because giving birth
and rearing children
is one of the basic responsibilities of human civilization and who are reluctant to do that are criticized by society. Moreover
, to continue the human race giving birth
has become the essential criterion of human life. For example
, the birth
rate is too low in some countries and the number of elderly people is increasing. So giving birth
and balancing the population is one of the important issues of recent times.
To conclude
, even though childbearing has both merits and demerits it should be left to the choice of the couples
. However
, in some countries where the birth
rates are low couples
should encourage to have children
there.Submitted by rahman_rehana on
