The vast majority of young people in Kyrgyzstan would like to be parents The youth of Kyrgyzstan want children. This is not new, but an expected cultural norm. But between "I want" and "birth" there is a chasm, and the main stone in this chasm is the person's home. Without a roof over their head, a stable job and security in the future, the desire to become parents is postponed until the biological clock starts ticking stronger than the social conditions. At the same time, even with all the obstacles, the young people in the region remain optimistic. The majority believe in their future and that the goals are achievable, and have a negative attitude towards voluntary childlessness. I mean, the problem is not that people don't want children. The problem is that the conditions do not allow them to want them in time.
