A University of California, Riverside professor's research reveals that some younger generations of color are choosing not to have children due to anxieties surrounding climate change and systemic racism. The Los Angeles Times highlights the professor's findings through interviews with individuals who express concerns about the ethical implications of bringing children into a world facing environmental and social challenges.
Some liberal Gen Z and millennial people of color told a gender studies professor that their concerns about race and climate change are preventing them from having children. The Los Angeles Times highlighted research from UC Riverside associate professor in the department of gender and sexuality studies, Jade S. Sasser. Sasser also hosts the 'Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question' podcast.
She later added, 'I know that things aren’t going to get better. So why would I want to put a child through that? Even when my sister gave birth to my nephew, I was like, Why? They’re going to go through so much.' Rosalind, 38, a Black woman of Caribbean origin living in Southern California and working as a scientific researcher said that racism is her primary concern when it comes to having kids.
