Childlessness by Choice and Its Relationship with Selected Behaviors of the Consumer Lifestyle Among Rural and Urban Residents

Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the CBOS (Public Opinion Research Centre) carried out in 2013 shows that family happiness ranks first among the values which the Poles consider as one guiding their lives. These declarations, however, do not translate into family life. The aim of this study was to show the relationships between the childlessness by choice and consumer lifestyle behaviors among residents of villages and cities. The study was conducted among 120 students of Civil Engineering, Agriculture, Sociology and Public Health, using the method of diagnostic survey in which the author of the study applied a questionnaire. The results obtained by the authors on the currently most important values in the respondents’ lives are similar to the results of surveys of public opinion. The vast majority of the respondents see themselves in the role of a parent at the age of 26-30 years, but a significant proportion of students consider having a child in their life at the moment as a threat to fertility. The opinion of students coincides with the currently most common cause of childlessness by choice, or the so called delayed parenting.
