Childless People Are Not as Unhappy as They Are Thought to Be

August 1, 2024

Childless people are actually not as unhappy as they are thought to be. American scientists have found that almost 80% of the childless believe that their lives are easier than those of people with children. They have higher incomes and larger pension savings, so they more often indulge in what they want and save for the future. For example, childless women over 50 earn about 25% more than mothers of the same age.
