For this group, priorities like fulfilling careers, financial independence, and homeownership rank higher. Only about 6% of Gen Z women who supported Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 viewed having children or marriage as important success markers. Among women who voted for President Trump, the figure rises to 26% for children, though marriage remains less prioritized. Trump-supporting men place somewhat more importance on having children (34%) and marriage (29%).The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >poll reflects broader societal trends<\/a>, including historically low U.S. birth rates, declining testosterone levels, increased use of abortive drugs, and shifting cultural attitudes influenced by feminism. many young Americans today are placing more emphasis on career and financial goals than on starting families.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>A significant chunk of the women responsible for birthing and raising the next generation don&rsquo;t think having kids fits their personal definition of success. <\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/politics-news\/poll-gen-zs-gender-divide-reaches-politics-views-marriage-children-suc-rcna229255\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new NBC News poll<\/a> of 2,970 adults aged 18 to 29 found that having children does not rank as a high priority for success among young females, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/now.tufts.edu\/2024\/11\/12\/young-voters-shifted-toward-trump-still-favored-harris-overall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the majority of whom<\/a> voted Democrat in the last election.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Generation Z men and women all said having children followed behind having a fulfilling job, having money, achieving financial indepence, using talents to better others, and owning a home when it came to building a life they believed to be &ldquo;successful.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>That number only shrank among females who voted for Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race.
