Gen Z Isn’t Having Kids — And Sydney’s Housing Market Is a Big Reason Why

Forget avocado toast. Gen Z isn’t having kids — and it’s not because they’re selfish. It’s because they can’t afford to.

🏠 1. $1.5M Median Prices = Delay Everything

Can’t own? Can’t plan. Most 20–30-year-olds in Sydney are delaying family life until “someday” — if ever.

👶 2. Rentals Aren’t Family-Friendly

No outdoor space. No pets. No stability. Gen Z doesn’t want to raise a kid in a one-bed flatshare with six-month leases.

📉 3. We’re Already Seeing the Drop

Sydney’s birth rate is down 11% since 2019. That’s not culture — it’s cost.

🧼 4. What’s This Got to Do with Cleaning?

Less households = fewer baby-proofing cleans, fewer family homes, fewer growth suburbs. It shifts how we clean — and who we clean for.

🧠 5. Real Estate = Real Change

Until housing gets fixed, the demographic will stay flat. That affects services, schools, and suburbs.
