The conscious choice not to have children (childless) has a detrimental effect on the mental state. This view was expressed in an interview with a radio station. “Moscow speaks” said Evgeniy Morgunov, Doctor of Psychology, Professor, Dean of the Faculty of Practical Psychology at the Moscow Higher School of Social and Economic Sciences.
“People may not fully understand that this potentially leads to: <…> When you find yourself alone, your lifeline is in old age,” says the doctor of science.
He admitted that he was concerned about the data that approximately 30 percent of families in Russia consist of one person, and that he did not expect to see such a high figure.
The professor noted that the problem of loneliness in general is wide-ranging and has philosophical roots.
Morgunov concluded that, according to statistics, single people live less than those who find a couple and start a family.
State Duma deputy Tatyana Butskaya in June spoke With the proposal to translate the term “childless” into Russian.
Previously TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak statedAt the age of 25, he was an active supporter of childlessness.
