Parenthood: Factors That Influence Decisions About Parenthood
• In 1998, Dave Dupuis wrote a report on a survey that examined factors that influence people’s plans to have children
• What do you think the report found?

Parenthood: Factors That Influence Decisions About Parenthood
•Marriage is said to lead people to want to have children
•Despite the amount of common law unions in Canada, 2/3 of births still occur within marriage
![Page 14: 7.3 Parenthood: Changes in This Stage of the Life Cycle](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812e36550346895d93a045/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Parenthood: Factors That Influence Decisions About Parenthood
• Birth rate among married women is nearly double that of women who spent their entire reproductive life in a common law relationship
![Page 15: 7.3 Parenthood: Changes in This Stage of the Life Cycle](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812e36550346895d93a045/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Parenthood: Factors That Influence Decisions About Parenthood
• Parents transfer attitudes and behaviours to their children
• Young adults who have many siblings tend to want more children as opposed to young adults with few siblings
![Page 16: 7.3 Parenthood: Changes in This Stage of the Life Cycle](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812e36550346895d93a045/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Parenthood: Factors That Influence Decisions About Parenthood
• Young adults who reported having no religion tend to have the smallest number of children
• Also people who attended church weekly had larger families because they tend to view marriage and family as important to their happiness

Parenthood: Factors That Influence Decisions About Parenthood
• In general, the more education women have, the fewer children they bare
• This is particularly true about women with a university degree
• The costs associated with interruptions to their careers tend to delay child bearing
![Page 20: 7.3 Parenthood: Changes in This Stage of the Life Cycle](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812e36550346895d93a045/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Parenthood: Factors That Influence Decisions About Parenthood
• On the contrary:
• Men with a higher education level tend to father more children.
• This is due to the fact that university educated men have well paid, stable employment and are better suited to afford more children.
