| This book deals with the issue of childlessness and resolving fertility desires. |
| In other regions, such as South America, Central America and South-eastern Asia, childlessness levels are higher, at around 10 per cent. |
| It is fair to say that around half of non-medical childlessness cannot properly be called chosen. |
| Ms Jaber places them in the framework of a narrative about her own childlessness. |
| In countries where fertility is low, rising voluntary childlessness makes it harder to envisage the return of fertility to replacement level. |
| The study also includes a brief analysis of the aggregate fertility impact of childlessness. |
