Study: Parents Find Greater Meaning, But Not Always More Satisfaction

A new study says that having kids can make parents feel like their lives have more meaning, but it doesn't always make them happier.

Researchers looked at data from many countries and found that parents often feel more fulfilled than people without children.

However, things like how much support parents get from their government and whether there's gender equality can change how happy parents are.

In places with good childcare and policies to help parents, like Scandinavia, parents tend to be happier than in other places.

The study suggests that society as a whole should help raise children, not just parents, to make life easier for everyone.
