But just how many child-free adults there are has been tricky for researchers to pin down.
National fertility data provided by the U.S. Census and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lump together all adults who aren t parents, making it difficult to understand how many people identify as child-free.
As social scientists, we think it s important to distinguish child-free individuals from those who are childless or not yet parents. People who are child-free make the conscious decision not to have kids. They re distinct from childless individuals – adults who want children but can t have them – and from people who plan to have children in the future.
