Childless US women - Increasing at an alarming rate
A shocking discovery by the American government reveals that modern American women are twice as likely to remain childless as 30 years ago. A survey by the US Census Bureau showed that one in five women in America is remaining childless throughout their lives. According to the report, American women these days are either choosing not to have children or are facing a steep decline in fertility.
Allowing an annual state wise fertility analysis, data from a massive sample of 3 million addresses across the US in the American Community Survey has been used for the first time. The report gives a statistical understanding of fertility issues.
The report’s author, Jane Dye, mentioned, “The proportion of childless women has been increasing steadily by about one percentage point a year. It used to be sort of expected that there was a phase of life where you had children, and a lot of women aren’t doing that now.”
Jennifer Manlove, a researcher specialising in teenage pregnancies with the organisation Child Trends further added, “Women are waiting longer to finish their education so childbearing starts later.”
The report claims that nearly 20 % of women aged between 40 to 44 years have no children. Also women in that age group who do have children have an average of 1.9 children much less than the mean average of 3.1 children in 1976.
