    The birthrate in the United States is on the decline, and of all 50 states, Vermont’s fertility rate is the lowest. We'll listen to a recent episode of Vermont Public's podcast Brave Little State where reporter Nina Keck looks into a listener’s question about childlessness. Then, we'll be joined by sociology professor Amy Blackstone of the University of Maine, who researches why some people opt out of parenting. Her book is Childfree by Choice. Have questions, comments or tips?

    Brave Little Stateis Vermont Public’s listener-powered journalism podcast. Every episode begins with a question submitted by our audience.

Is there a support system or community acceptance here for childless adults?”Note: Our show is made for the ear. We highly recommend listening to the audio. We’ve also provided a transcript.
