One in five adults in Michigan doesn't have children and isn't planning on starting a family any time soon.
"We estimate 21.64 percent of Michigan adults are #childfree," Michigan State University sociologist Zarchary Neal wrote in aHe's the lead author of these new findings, along with research psychologist Jennifer Watling Neal, also at MSU.
The pair set out to determine how many American adults are choosing to live childfree, when childfree adults are making this decision, and if they stuck to it in the long term. The results offer"critical insights on childfree adults, who are a demographically significant segment of the population, but whose numbers have been substantially underestimated in the past," the authorsThat underestimation is due to previous studies focusing only on women or relying on data that is not representative of the broader population. For instance, previous fertility-based estimates put childfree prevalence between roughly 2 and 9 percent.
"Women who decided to be childfree in their teens [and twenties] are now, on average, nearly 40 years old and still don't have children,"
