Michelle Stanworth, ed.,
Reproductive Technologies: Gender, Motherhood, and Medicine
(Cambridge: Polity Press, 1987), p. 14. Carolyn M. Morell also points out that women's situations have become even worse. With the changes that have happened in the work environment and family structure, women's responsibilities in terms of child care are defined far more rigorously than in the past. A mother's responsibilities just keep on increasing. See
Unwomanly Conduct: The Challenges of Intentional Childlessness
(New York: Routledge, 1994), p. 65.

As Lyliane Nemet-Pier observes with such acuity, a child has become a precious creature but one that must not get in the way. See

Park, “Choosing Childlessness,” p. 375. She points out that surveys on comparative marital satisfaction in couples with or without children produced different conclusions. According to some, there is no significant difference; others found there was greater satisfaction within childless couples. In 1995 the British Office of Population Census and Survey showed that the divorce rate is higher in parents of children under the age of sixteen and lower in those with children over this age. The divorce rate for childless couples lay in between the two.

The Swedish demographers Jan M. Hoem, Gerda Neyer, and Gunnar Andersson published a very interesting article exploring the subtleties of this statement. According to them, it is less the level of education that is the determining factor than the professional orientation chosen. When women choose a feminized job (public service, teaching, medical world, etc.), they have more children than those committed to masculine territories (private enterprise, jobs with irregular working hours). However, they bring to light some counterexamples to their hypothesis that limit the
scope of their ideas. See “Education and Childlessness: The Relationship Between Educational Field, Educational Level, and Childlessness Among Swedish Women Born in 1955â59,”
