This open access book provides an overview of childlessness throughout Europe. It offers a collection of papers written by leading demographers and sociologists that examine contexts, causes, and consequences of childlessness in countries throughout the region. The book features data from all over Europe. It specifically highlights patterns of childlessness in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden, Austria and Switzerland. An additional chapter on childlessness in the United States puts the European experience in perspective. The book offers readers such insights as the determinants of lifelong childlessness, whether governments can and should counteract increasing childlessness, how the phenomenon differs across social strata and the role economic uncertainties play. In addition, the book also examines life course dynamics and biographical patterns,assisted reproduction as well as the consequences of childlessness. Childlessness has been increasing rapidly in most European countries in recent decades. This book offers readers expert analysis into this issue from leading experts in the field of family behavior. From causes to consequences, it explores the many facets of childlessness throughout Europe to present a comprehensive portrait of this important demographic and sociological trend. . 410 0$aDemographic Research Monographs, A Series of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research,$x2197-9286 606 $aDemography 606 $aPopulation 606 $aPopulation$xEconomic aspects 606 $aSociology 606 $aPopulation and Demography 606 $aPopulation Economics 606 $aSociology 615 0$aDemography. 615 0$aPopulation. 615 0$aPopulation$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aSociology. 615 14$aPopulation and Demography. 615 24$aPopulation Economics. 615 24$aSociology. 676 $a304.6 686 $aPOL029000$aSOC006000$aSOC026000$2bisacsh 700 $aKreyenfeld$b Michaela$4edt$01745122 702 $aKreyenfeld$b Michaela$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKonietzka$b Dirk$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910166951303321 996 $aChildlessness in Europe: Contexts, Causes, and Consequences$94450254 997 $aUNINA
