https://doi.org/10.31595/ijsw.v8i1.1221Abstract
The presence of children is interpreted as the hope of the family, the successor of
offspring, and the bearer of happiness and blessings. But along with the times, many
married couples choose not to have children, this is certainly contrary to the
construction of Indonesian society related to the concept of the ideal family. This can be
seen from the decline in Total Fertility Rate in Indonesia. This study used descriptive
quantitative methods with purposive sampling techniques based on criteria, namely
women aged 27-35 years who belonged to the millennial generation, a total of 50
respondents. Primary data sources through online penelitians. This study uses Schmitt
& Schmitt's theory of direct and constructive perception to see the influence of internal
and external factors in the formation of perception. The results show that individual
internal and external factors influence millennial women's perceptions of the presence
of children in marriage. Then, the millennial generation, which prioritizes maturity,
stability and readiness from various factors, interprets the presence of children in the
family as not a necessity and does not make children the only source of happiness even
though it is undeniable that children become a complement to the family. Further
studies are needed to obtain more comprehensive data. In addition, premarital
education and counseling programs, gender equality campaigns, community support
and social networks can be used as recommendations.
