This study examines the relationship between climate change concern and childfree intentions in Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Norway, and the UK. It explores whether climate worries are associated with a greater likelihood of intending to remain childfree or reducing the intended family size, and how the association differs across age and education. Using representative data from the 2021/22 Gender and Generations Survey, the study employs logistic and multinomial logistic regressions to assess childfree intentions and the intended number of children. The findings highlight that climate concern is associated with a greater likelihood of intending to remain childfree, with no relevant variations across age and education.

摘要

This study examines the relationship between climate change concern and childfree intentions in Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Norway, and the UK. It explores whether climate worries are associated with a greater likelihood of intending to remain childfree or reducing the intended family size, and how the association differs across age and education. Using representative data from the 2021/22 Gender and Generations Survey, the study employs logistic and multinomial logistic regressions to assess childfree intentions and the intended number of children. The findings highlight that climate concern is associated with a greater likelihood of intending to remain childfree, with no relevant variations across age and education.
