The number of adults choosing to be childfree is growing in the United States, with 44% of adults aged 18 to 49 reporting it's unlikely they will have children.
Reasons for choosing to be childfree range from concerns about the climate crisis and financial constraints to personal preferences and anxiety about pregnancy.
Women who choose to be childfree still face societal expectations, gender roles, and potential relationship challenges, but deserve support in making their own choices.
