This chart focuses on the share of women who had no births by the end of their childbearing years. The horizontal axis shows the woman’s birth year.
Around 18% of those born in the 1910s in the United States had no children. For the following generations who grew up during the “baby boom”, the share with no children dropped to 5%. Since then, this figure has risen and fallen again.
In Sweden, the share of women without any children has remained relatively stable at around 12% for women born between the 1950s and 1970s.
The trend in Japan and Spain has been different: the share of women with no children has grown steeply over recent generations. In Spain, the figure nearly doubled in a decade: from 10% for women born in 1960 to almost 20% for those born in 1970. In Japan, it almost tripled in twenty years.
