Extinction of Parenthood: Why People Are Choosing Pets Over Babies dives deep into one of the most dramatic societal shifts of the 21st century. Across the globe, birth rates are plummeting while pet ownership is soaring. What's driving this change? Is it economic instability, shifting cultural values, or something more profound-an evolution in what we define as family?

This book explores the reasons behind the decline of traditional parenthood and the rise of pet-centric households. From skyrocketing childcare costs to corporate pet-friendly policies, from the psychological comfort of animals to the growing social acceptance of being child-free, this book dissects the forces shaping modern family life.

Is parenthood becoming a luxury only the wealthy can afford? Are pets truly an "easier" alternative to raising children? What does a future with more pets than kids look like for our economy, culture, and human relationships? Through research, expert analysis, and compelling real-world examples, Extinction of Parenthood examines the pros and cons of this transformation-challenging readers to consider what this means for the future of society.

For those curious about the shift away from traditional families, those questioning whether to have children, and those invested in the future of human relationships, this book provides thought-provoking insights into a world that is rapidly redefining what it means to nurture, love, and build a home.
