Abstract
This study examines the factors influencing Filipino Generation Z’s commitment to becoming child-free, focusing on personal characteristics, social influence, financial stability, and behavior toward climate change. Grounded in Social Construction Theory, the research investigates how personal characteristics, social influence, financial stability, and behavior toward climate change shape personal autonomy and, ultimately, the commitment to becoming child free. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional design, data were collected from 210 Filipino Gen Z individuals aged 18–28. Findings revealed that financial stability and behavior toward climate change had the strongest relationships with personal autonomy, which in turn was found to have a significant relationship with the commitment to becoming child-free. The results underscore a generational shift toward autonomy-driven life planning, where personal, economic, and environmental considerations increasingly outweigh traditional expectations of parenthood.
