Definition(s)

  • Childlessness, which refers to the reproductive state of never having had children, is of concern to individuals and couples as they make decisions about whether to have children. Historically, people gave birth to or adopted children with the expectation that those offspring would contribute to the work and economic livelihood of the family.
