A majority of U.S. adults ages 50 and older who don’t have children say not having kids hasn’t had much of an impact on their personal relationships. And for the most part, they report that they rarely, if ever, felt pressure to have children when they were younger. Similarly, majorities of adults under 50 who say they are unlikely to have children say they rarely, if ever, talk about having kids with family or friends.

One-in-five U.S. adults ages 50 and older have never had children, according to Pew Research Center analysis of government data. Not having children is more common among adults in their 50s and 60s than those in their 70s. Today, 23% of adults in their 50s and 22% of those in their 60s have never had children, compared with 15% of those in their 70s. (The data doesn’t go back far enough to allow us to analyze how these figures have changed over time).

Among U.S. adults who don’t have children, those ages 50 and older have mixed views on whether they ever wanted to have them in the first place. And their reasons for never having kids differ from those given by younger adults who say they’re unlikely to have them. The top reason cited by those ages 50 and older is that it just never happened. Adults ages 18 to 49 are most likely to say they just don’t want to have children.

Today’s young adults are later in life than their parents’ generation did. Still, most Americans ages 18 to 34 who’ve never been married say they’d like to marry someday. And about half of young adults in that age group who don’t have children say they’d like to be parents eventually. Pew Research Center conducted this study to better understand how young adults who aren’t married or do not have children are thinking about marriage and parenthood.

This chapter focuses on the relationship between parents and their young adult children, from the parents’ perspective. For many of the questions, parents were asked to think of a specific child ages 18 to 34. This way they could give more concrete answers rather than trying to generalize about all of their children (if they have more than one child in that age group).
