“…19 Based on this framework, a positive relation was found to exists between childlessness and educational level and they explained the relation as a U-shaped curve. 17 As per the findings from the present study age at marriage is the most important determinant of childlessness. This finding corroborates with contemporary literature that indicated that the age of marriage has a positive bearing on childlessness and with increasing age childlessness increases.…”

“…21,22 Study has also found that poor women have a much higher probability of being childless than others. 17 The findings also list factors related to women's health status. BMI is an important determinant of childlessness as childlessness is more among overweight and obese women.…”

“…These include education, economic status, place of residence, and age at marriage. 8,17 Based on review of earlier literature the explanatory variables used in the analysis are education (no education/primary/ secondary/higher), caste (SC/ST/OBC/Other category), religion (Hindu/Muslim/Christian/Others), household wealth status (poor/non-poor), age at marriage (less than 18/18-30/above 30), exposure to mass media (no exposure/exposure), place of residence (urban/rural), region of residence (North/East/Central, South, North-East/West). Nutritional status, health risk and lifestyle behavioural factors were also included.…”

Background: In the recent years developing countries have been experiencing an increase in the number of women without children. Is India also one of them? This paper tries to analyse whether childlessness has increased in India and what are the factors which determine childlessness. Methods: The present paper uses cross sectional data from the fourth and fifth round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS 4 and NFHS 5). The analysis is based on complete childlessness which includes women above 40 years of age. Bi-variate analysis and binary logistic regression has been used. Results: The results indicate that overall, 7% of women were childless in India in 2015-2016 which increased to 12% in 2019-2021; the increase was statistically significant. Childlessness was positively associated with level of education, age at marriage, body mass index (BMI) level, and presence of thyroid. Urban women were more prone to experience childlessness. Conclusions: Although childlessness is less in India compared to the developed world, the percentage of childless women is likely to rise given the increasing trends of woman’s schooling, age at marriage, media exposure, etc. This would in turn increase the demand on reproductive health care services.

“…For a woman, childlessness can mean different things, such as never having given birth, having no living children with whom they are in contact or having no children with their spouse or partner 2. The majority of the literature considers childlessness as having no live birth,3 which is the same as nulliparous, and that is the definition adopted in this paper. Childlessness can be classified as involuntary or voluntary, the latter also known as being childfree 3–5…”

Rising trend of childlessness in China: analysis of social and regional disparities with 2010 and 2020 census data

et al. 2023

IntroductionIn recent decades, there has been a significant increase in childlessness. This paper analysed childlessness in China, specifically examining its socio and regional disparities.MethodsWith data from China’s 2020 population census, supplemented with data from China’s 2010 population census and 2015 inter-censual 1% population sample survey, we used a basic indicator of age-specific childlessness proportion, a decomposition method, and probability distribution models to analyse, fit and project childlessness.ResultsWe presented age-specific childlessness proportions for women as a whole and by socioeconomic features, decomposition and projection results. The childlessness proportion increased markedly from 2010 to 2020, reaching 5.16% for women aged 49. The proportion is highest for city women, followed by township women, and is lowest among village women, at 6.29%, 5.50% and 3.72 % for women aged 49, respectively. The proportion for women aged 49 with high college education or above was 7.98%, and only 4.42% for women with junior high school education. The proportion also exhibits marked provincial discrepancies, and the total fertility rate is negatively correlated with childlessness at the province level. The decomposition results distinguished the different contribution of change in educational structure and change in childlessness proportion for subgroups to the total childlessness proportion change. It is projected that city women, women with high education will have higher childlessness proportion, and the proportion will further increase with the rapid increase in education level and urbanisation.ConclusionsChildlessness has risen to a relatively high level, and varies among women with different characteristics. This should be taken into consideration in China’s countermeasures to reduce childlessness and curtail further fertility decline accordingly.
