Abstract
This paper delves into the complex interplay of personal, societal, economic, and health-related factors that shape childbearing decisions. By synthesizing diverse theoretical frameworks, we identify overlapping and divergent perspectives on the perceived benefits and costs of parenthood. Notably, we highlight the under-exploration of certain factors, such as health concerns and the impact of climate change, on reproductive choices. By identifying these gaps, we outline key areas for future research. Incorporating these new dimensions into existing studies will lead to a deeper and more current understanding of reproductive decision-making. Consequently, this study underscores the need for comprehensive research to inform effective policies and support systems for families.
