This thesis aims to answer the research question, “how does the identity of male and female adult third culture kids affect their intended fertility?”. A phenomenological method of qualitative research to analyze the intended fertility of adult third culture kids. The identity of adult third culture kids is firstly outlined with regards to prolonged adolescence, relationships, education/ career and rootlessness to restlessness. Their identities have been thoroughly explored in previous research but there is a lack in information on their future behavior intentions. In-depth interviews were conducted of four adult third culture kids from around the world, the analysis specifically indicates their high education and restlessness. However, no direct link can be concluded of how their mobile upbringing affected their intended fertility.
