More American women do not have children as they hit 40-44 years-old. According to Pew Research Center which used data from Census Bureau's Current Population Survey, as reported by reuters.com, close to 20% of women in age group 40-44 were childless, compared to only 10% during the 1970s era.
Of all American women do not have children in 2008, as per the report, 20% were white, 17% were black, 17% were Hispanic, and 16% were Asian. The childlessness rates for other races have increased significantly since late 1990s. One of the reasons cited by the report was that education as a main factor in a woman's decision to be childless. High educated women tend to have fewer children.
