Abstract

In der Öffentlichkeit ist häufig davon die Rede, dass jede dritte westdeutsche Frau und sogar mehr als 40 % der westdeutschen Akademikerinnen kinderlos bleiben. Diese Angaben zur Kinderlosigkeit beruhen meist auf Auswertungen des Mikrozensus. Die Verwendung des Mikrozensus zur Abschätzung der Kinderlosigkeit ist allerdings umstritten. In diesem Artikel soll deshalb ein Überblick über Schätzungen zur Kinderlosigkeit in Deutschland gegeben werden.
