In this episode of Two Generations One Mic, we tackle one of the biggest and most uncomfortable questions of our time: should people still be having kids?

With birth rates declining across Australia and the world, we unpack why so many people are choosing not to have children — or delaying it indefinitely. Is it financial pressure? Career focus? Fear of responsibility? Broken family models? Or has society simply stopped valuing parenthood?

From a Gen Z and Gen X perspective, we talk honestly about the realities of having kids today, the sacrifices involved, and whether modern culture has made family life feel unrealistic or undesirable.

This episode is about asking the hard questions, challenging assumptions, and having a real conversation about the future.

If you’ve ever wondered whether kids are “worth it,” why fewer people are choosing parenthood, or what this means for society long-term… this episode is for you.
