Researchers at Michigan State University found the percentage of Americans who do not want children has doubled over the past two decades, rising from 14% in 2002 to 29% in 2023. The study utilized data from an extensive national survey and revealed a notable decline in the number of nonparents planning to have children in the future. Elon Musk has warned about the potential consequences of low birth rates, including economic and social unrest. The findings categorize childless adults into groups based on their reasons for remaining childless and their views on parenthood.
During the same period, the percent of nonparents who plan to have children in the future fell from 79 percent to 59 percent.
Musk, who boasts of 'always banging the baby drum,' has been warning about worldwide population collapse for years.
