More and more couples are deciding to be "child-free", to have no children, in other words. Some people claim that those couples reach this conclusion through entirely selfish reasons. While others think that they came to this decision through noble motives, such as concern about overpopulation and desire for independence. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There is an ever-increasing number of
couples
who are inferring not to have children, which is called “child-free
”. It is often argued that this
is because of selfish purposes. However
, some people
believe that these "child-free
" phenomena are due to
noble reasons, such
as considering overpopulation and the wish for a free lifestyle. In this
essay, I discuss both views and give my personal opinion.
In this
era, many couples
do not want to have a baby because the cost of having a baby is more expensive. In Jakarta, for example
, the estimated cost of raising a child until he graduates from university is IDR 800 million. Thus
, it can be a huge financial burden for the couple. Furthermore
, they have to allocate their time and effort to raise the child. In order to save money, time, and energy, they decide to have no children or be “child-free
”. In line with this
statement, it is perhaps the reason why some people
believe that “child-free
” families are selfish.
On the other hand
, other people
claim that “child-free
” is a noble choice because "child-free
" couples
are rated with concern about overpopulation issues. People
become more and more crowded, which causes harm to the environment. Jakarta, for instance
, as the most crowded city in Indonesia, has become one of the most environmentally problematic cities like
pollution, the accumulation of rubbish, and floods. Change preposition

Moreover
, some people
think that “child-free
” couples
want to be more independent, which is a good choice. However
, there are negative impacts of being child-free
, such
as depression and anxiety caused by loneliness and a lack of emotional and physical support in old age.
To sum up
, even though the reason and motivation for being child-free
are noble, marriage people
should consider having a child as they would need assistance from their children when they grow older, especially for mental well-being.Submitted by misstiasclassroom on
