Only children have nothing to complain about!
Data from the study clearly show that only children are privileged in some way. They give more importance to the quality of what they buy, perhaps because they are more used to things of higher quality.
They seem to be more comfortable with changes in technology than any other group in our society, place greater importance on having a stimulating sex life, and have a larger place in their lives for their circle of friends, which is totally understandable for only children.
Only children tend to define themselves as demanding and severe individuals. Undoubtedly, this explains why more of them stated that they are not living the lives that they dreamed of, although their RHI of 79.00 is well over the average.
Could it be that the absence of a larger family with its more frequent, cordial contacts between siblings weighs them down a bit? On the other hand, only children are one of the groups that, if it were possible, would rather live in the past (40%), specifically in the 1950s and 1960s, when families were much larger.
But their nostalgia appears to be completely compensated for by the lives that they lead, because only children posted one of the highest differentials between improvement or deterioration of their state or happiness last year with a ratio of +64, contrasting with the average of +26. Moreover, the ratio decreases as family size increases, plummeting from +64 to +8 for individuals from families with five or more children. The same holds true with their RHI, which drops to 79.92 for only children to 72.90 for individuals from families with five or more children.
In short, only children have nothing to complain about. They don't find themselves in the ranks of the apparently underprivileged or for whom life hasn't been good.
So, no good news for the birthrate.
