Why woman doesn't want to have children.

Reflection paper

There was a time when a woman could not imagine their existence without the presence of children. Woman who didn’t want to procreate, were misunderstood, and people use to thing that they were weird and sometimes the society rejected them just because they didn’t want to be mothers.

Social explanations for this phenomenon are the expectations of women for a better social position, that involve higher education levels and better working positions, and that’s why in this time the number of children in certain countries have reduced.

Since the mid-2000s, birth rates in Europe, the United States and several Latin American countries have declined. Although a factor may be related to fertility problems, statistics show that most women who have no children have voluntarily chosen not to become mothers.
