Abstract
The prominent theme in today's society is the decreasing number of children born to Australian women. Most social literature is often based on the numbers which show that Australia is experiencing falling fertility rates and the delay of having children has risen.
Using the selected group of 6 women to do the questionnaire , the paper explores the link between declining fertility rate and how its is relevant with the focus of women on education and career. Furthermore the paper explains why women choose to focus on particular things in their life whether it is career, education or children and whether there is a link between chosen lifestyle and their satisfaction.
Overall we find support for the idea that changes in women's lives, such as the ability to gain an education, work and be financially independent is the major cause for the fertility decline and delay. However the paper looks at evidence about the happiness of these women, whether these changes benefit them positively or negatively.
