TOPIC
There is an increasing trend around
the world of married couples who
decide = deciding not to have
children. Discuss the advantages and
disadvantages for couples who decide to
do this.
An increasing number of married couples around the world choosing to remain childless. This essay will discuss
the pros and cons of this issue.

One primary advantage of remaining childless for married couples is that they can focus on their work. This is
because they have less responsibility and distractions in their lives compared to the couples that have a child.
Another advantage of this is that they have more spare time. Looking after a child is a full-time job for parents
and taking most of their time, while child-free couples have lots of free time after work. For example, many
couples stop going out late with their friends after having a child as they have to stay at home for looking after
their children.

One disadvantage of couples deciding not to have children is that they can struggle to hang with their peers after
most of them have children. Most parents prefer to spend more time with other couples that have children as
well. Moreover, do not have anyone to look after them in their elderliness is another disadvantage. Children are
the ones who take care of their parents when they get old because their parents did the same for them when
they were young. For instance, the vast majority of the people who live in care homes have no child.

In conclusion, the main benefits of staying child-free for couples are that they can be more career-oriented and
have more free time for themselves, and the main drawbacks are that they could have problems about fitting
into their friends’ group and having no one to take care of them when they become older.
