> A quarter of adults don't want children, but they will still expect the children of the other 75% to produce sufficient surplus for them to consume in retirement. Well, that's an assumption you make. Me and my wife don't want children but we are also working to build sustainable future for ourselves so we are not much dependent on future generations. Pension funds, sustainable business for the future, low footprint. And yes, we are paying into the system which is ripping us off today anyway. So you, know, we finance your parents, your children can pay something back. This obviously depends on the country you live in. In Germany, there are talks to increase pension contributions for people who don't have children.
