TORONTO — A new poll suggests half of 18- to 50-year-olds in Canada who plan on having kids have delayed parenthood, with respondents citing reasons that include financial uncertainty, difficulties finding a partner and the cost of child care.
Researchers from Angus Reid Institute surveyed 1,300 child-free adults younger than 50 online between Sept. 12 and 18 about their plans for parenthood.
"One of the things that happens is we just keep delaying, and some of those people just never get around to having children," said Dave Korzinski, research director at the Angus Reid institute. It's important to understand and address their concerns, he added. Two-thirds of the 487 adults who don't plan on becoming parents say it's "just not something want" for their lives, while a quarter cited the cost of child care as a contributing factor.
