There is also an English version of the press release: www.hu-berlin.de/en/press-por...
Long-term psychological study: Kids or no kids - men and women are equally satisfied across almost the entire lifespan
Whether childlessness is associated with negative psychological outcomes depends on how strongly young adults internalised parenthood as a life goal

Good news for #childlesscatladies : similar life satisfaction from 18-65 with or without kids. Childless people experienced better mental health and fewer negative emotions than parents. Only fathers (but not mothers) felt less lonely than their childless peers.
