Diminished fertility rates are caused by a number of factors. Among these is growing popularity of so-called child free marriages sometimes called voluntary childlessness. The rate of child free marriages has steadily risen since the 1980s. As of 2016, one in five married couples are childless. What are the major causes driving the TREND? Is procreation merely a lifestyle choice (as many argue)? Or is it dangerous for society to encourage an understanding of marriage severed from procreation? NOTE: A useful place to start is the Wikipedia article called “Voluntary Childlessness” which has a useful discussion of the reason why couples choose not to have children.
