Widespread involuntary childlessness reported among U.S. adults and LGBTQ people in Israel

Summary

76% Informative

A new study published in the Journal of Marriage and Family sheds light on the experiences of involuntary childlessness among people in the United States and Israel .

Nearly 70% of sexual minority adults in Israel and 50% in the U.S. have experienced the emotional burden of wanting children but being unable to have them.

The researchers speculate that Israel ’s supportive policies for reproductive services may help mitigate the stress of not being able to have children.

The study relied on self-reported data, which can introduce biases, and the measures used to assess pronatalism and childlessness were relatively simple.

Future research could benefit from using more detailed measures and examining the role of specific policies, such as access to fertility treatments and legal barriers to adoption.
