Childfree Scotland
A growing number of Scottish women are saying no to having kids.
According to this article in the Sunday Herald:
A third of Scottish women in their early 40s have never had a child. They aren’t infertile, they simple don’t want children … and their number is growing.
A study published last week by the NHS revealed that childlessness is not a slim social phenomenon of a few women dedicated to their careers or experiencing fertility problems. It is a mass social change: 31.2% of Scottish women born between 1960 and 1963 do not have children, and the generation behind them will probably exceed that. If the current trend continues, 40% of women born between 1970 and 1973 will not have children.
Only around 7% of childless women have not had a child because of medical reasons. The story behind the statistics is one of choice.
