What share of women reach the end of their childbearing years without having children?
This chart shows the share of women who have had no births by the end of their childbearing years in four countries: the United States, Sweden, Japan, and Spain. Each country's data is represented on separate graphs, plotted against the years from 1918 to 1972 along the horizontal axis, labeled as "Women's birth year." The vertical axis indicates the percentage of women who have had no births, ranging from 0% to 30%. In the US graph, the percentage starts around 15% in 1918, dips slightly mid-century, and then rises again to near 20% by the early 1970s. The Sweden graph shows a relatively stable line around 10–15% throughout the years, with no significant fluctuations. Japan's graph trends upward, reaching around 25% by the end of the timeline. In Spain, the share steadily increases, culminating in over 20% by 1972, indicating a growing trend in women having no births. The data source is cited as the Human Fertility Database (2024). The chart is published by Our World in Data.
