Abstract Subject headings

This interview study (136 participants) aimed to investigate Swedish emerging adults’ own thoughts and feelings related to a possible future parenthood. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the material. Results showed a strong norm toward wanting to have children among Swedish emerging adults, no participants rejected the idea of parenthood altogether. Women seemed more affected by this norm than men and women also reported more thoughts about potential problems (and possible solutions) related to a future family-life. These results will be discussed in the light of the Swedish public policies.
