In recent years, it has become more normal for people to select to reside in small families, particularly in the developed world. There are various reasons for this phenomenon and this also exert a lot of effects on society
One of the principal reasons for smaller family units is the development of the countries in which depend on their workforce. For this reason, manifold women are more likely to work outside instead of staying at home and doing the household chores. Both parents often work results in limit time in child care. Moreover, it costs so much to bring children up, especially in developed areas. For example, in Hong Kong, the cost of study from primary to undergraduate school is much in excess of comparing to other countries, even in European countries. Thus, the tuition fee is affordable for manifold people, especially for people who are on the average salary.
This issue can impact on society in a number of ways. In positive manners, a long-term decline in birth rates has a positive influence on the labour market due a decreasing number of job applicants. From depopulation the competition for resources within the population is reduced. Additionally, the life quality increases by virtue of lower motorised traffic, less environmental destruction, reduced carbon and nitrogen emissions, reduced pollution, reforestation. However, one adverse ramification is that there will be fewer young people in the workforce in the future. Consequently, the sustainability of future economic growth less certain.
In conclusion, the trend of reduction of family size is certain to arise and exert both positive and negative impacts on society by dint of the high cost of bringing children up and the growth of economic.
