Parents are far more interested in seeing their kids be financially independent or in a fulfilling career than be married or have children, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.

The analysis is based on interviews with 3,757 U.S. parents with children under age 18.

When asked about their aspirations for their children when they reach adulthood, parents prioritise financial independence and career satisfaction. Roughly nine-in-ten parents say it’s extremely or very important to them that their children be financially independent when they are adults, and the same share say it’s equally important that their children have jobs or careers they enjoy. About four-in-ten (41%) say it’s extremely or very important to them that their children earn a college degree, while smaller shares place a lot of importance on their children eventually becoming parents (20%) and getting married (21%).
