Two incomes, no cradle: what India’s DINK couples are telling policymakers
A growing alphabet of households
DINK is only the best-known entry in a lengthening list. DINKYs have double income and no kids yet, but plan to have them later. DISKs, with double incomes and a single kid, fill urban apartment complexes, while DEWKs, dual-employed with kids, juggle careers and school runs. SINKs live on a single income with no kids, GINKs (green inclination, no kids) cite climate anxiety, and DINKWADs have swapped a baby for a dog.
