Childlessness is not a new phenomenon, but empirical evidence from the demographic field has demonstrated that it is on the increase. Furthermore, childlessness has a number of consequences for both women and men, the communities in which they live, their psychic states, their social networks and the organisations in which they work. Bringing together research from a wide range of scholarly disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, sociology, gender studies, social work and social policy, and underpinned by a feminist ontology this edited collection of original chapters provides an insight into the current state of the art research on the drivers, determinants, manifestations and outcomes of childlessness. The collection is intended to be a key resource for scholars, students and policymakers addressing this issue in a wide range of disciplinary contexts.

Among their topics are from deviant choice to feminist issue: a historical analysis of scholarship on voluntary childlessness 1920-2013, whether loneliness and regret are the inevitable outcomes of ageing and childlessness, age identity and never-married childless older women, finding Mr. Right: childfree women's partner preferences, and stigma and childlessness in historical and contemporary Japan.
