Why are young adults hesitant about having kids?

Many people are brought up with the idea that one day they’ll have a family of their own, but new research has found a growing number of young Australians are hesitant.

The Monash University’s 2021 Australian Youth Barometer surveyed over 500 Australians and found that 24% of young Australians are hesitant about having kids for many different reasons.

Professor Lucas Walsh from Monash University explores the research with Fiona Bartholomaeus.
