A growing number of people in America prefer families of three or more children, hitting the highest desire for large families since 1971.
According to a Gallup survey released Monday, the number of people who prefer smaller and larger family sizes are statistically tied, bouncing back from a decadeslong trend of believing one or two children was ideal.
Gallup pointed to several social trends from past decades that may have contributed to the decline in having children, including the preference for larger families"plummeting" from 70% in 1967 to 52% in 1972"fueled at least in part by concerns about a global population explosion, resulting from the 1968 bestselling book entitled The Population Bomb."
"The 8% of America that’s anti-family has way too much representation in our culture — especially in entertainment, politics, news media, academia, and even corporations," Schilling said. While ideal family size is not significantly different from men to women, other demographic traits do trend in certain directions.
Despite stated preferences, birth rates have been on the decline, and adults are starting families much later in life, which is highly correlated to smaller family sizes.
