Do diaspora Somalis want kids?

[Soul Kaizer]

To the diaspora Somalis who are unmarried and childless what is your opinion on you having kids in your 20s? And if you don’t want kids at all why?

Is that reason:

• Economic
• Cultural
• Philosophy
• Religious
• Biological
• Career
• Mix or Other

Edit: Also what age are you going to have them if you are?

6 is just a tiny bit of children.To tell you the truth im trying to have 65 children. Americans aren't not having children anymore and I truly don't understand why. Im willing even to have 17 wives in that time period if needed. The reason you've listed are truly irrelevant to me.

Quality over quantity.

Cockroaches and rats have dozens of kids because a rat doesn’t have a high ceiling they are durable and low cost/labour.

The more intelligent and bigger the species the less kids they have.

Don’t pop out dozens of kids who will have almost zero attachment to their father because you can’t split your time enough.

4 children is the good number of kids i could handle as a western. I would say 3 but there is always a pair in every trio no damn game accounts properly for 3 players only 2 or 4

 

[Keep it a boqol]

2-4 but i highly doubt so in this economy.

I can imagine pulling it off with someone who’s locked in with me through thick and thin

World birth has declined, and rightly so!

Don't have any until you have a decent paying career. Not some random low wage job. Like an actual career that required you to either complete college or some sort of trade program.

Y'all got no excuses for having kids on a low income salary.

Women would likely report lower figures because they bear the greatest costs and are most often tasked with raising children. Child rearing is not an evenly shared effort, but rather one that is shouldered primarily by women who are the custodial parents or primary caregivers. Having a child introduces the possibility of single motherhood (via divorce or widowhood). And the quality of the father can vary widely in terms of attractiveness, intellect, stability, character, or finances. More importantly, some fathers are emotionally and/or physically absent, while others are actively involved, likely due to greater trait conscientiousness, agreeableness, and prosocial behaviour. Still others may pass on negative characteristics to their children, i.e. disordered patterns of behaviour, which are learned and heritable. So, I would say the risks are multifarious.

As for young people (Gen Z) in the diaspora, there are structural forces that may delay marriage and family planning. To begin with, youth unemployment and underemployment are on the rise, driven by A. I automation, greater competition and issues of credential inflation (requiring more degrees and years of experience), as well as the scarcity of entry-level roles, particularly in the tech sector. There have been several layoffs. I have seen Comp Sci recent graduates struggling to land jobs at Chipotle. I pray for them.
