New Research was released earlier this year discussing the views of Millennials towards sex and reproductive heath. It studied 2,314 Millennials between the ages of 18-34.

The 2015 Millennials, Sexuality, and Reproductive Health Survey was released on Friday, March 27 at The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation in Washington, D.C. by the Public Religion Research Institute.
It is a fascinating read for pastors, leaders, and parents of Emerging Adults. Here are a few fascinating notes:
- When evaluating the morality of sexual behaviors, millennials generally do not make black-and white judgments, but rather factor circumstances into their reasoning.
- On the issue of abortion, millennials strongly factor specific circumstances into their moral evaluations.
- Millennials view women having a full-time job as a less serious problem for families than men who concentrate too much on work.
- One-third (33%) of millennials are religiously unaffiliated, making it the single most common religious identity among this generation.
There is so much in this study, and I hope to dive more into this research in the weeks to come, and what it means for the church. If you want to support my research, please contact me, or donate here.
