In this paper, we will address students desire for parenthood. Attitudes direct our thinking and actions and attitudes about future parenthood largely determine decisions about having children and reflect on numerous aspects of human life. Having children, both throughout history and today, is a desirable goal, a goal that is a social norm for adult individuals. Previous research has shown that the motives for wanting to become a parent vary from person to person and can be different at different periods of their lives. Also, they depend on age, gender, order of children in the family, development of marital relations, career development, but also on the specific social atmosphere. As part of this graduate thesis, a study was conducted whose goal was to check what is the current desire for parenthood, on a sample of students at the University of Zagreb, whether the desire for parenthood depends on gender, age and satisfaction with a romantic relationship. The research involved 418 students in total. The results of the research on the desire for parenthood showed that there is no difference in the desire for parenthood in men and women. Also, that the desire does not depend on the age of the respondents, but that there are differences between people who are in a romantic relationship from those who are not. People who are in a romantic relationship show a higher level of desire for parenthood compared to those who are not in a romantic relationship.
