  12. Check your Understanding Exam Practice Stretch and Challenge Over to you a. Using the item, what percentage of women over the age of 45 remained childless in 2005? (1) b. What trend can be seen in women’s behaviour with regard to parenthood? (1) c. Explain the meaning of the term childfree. (1) d. With an example drawn from family life, explain one financial reason why women choose not to have children. (2) e. Fully explain the reason why many women prefer not to be single parents. (3) f. In your own words, explain one rea- son why women in the past were not able to choose to be childfree. (2) In 1985, 11% of women over the age of 45 had not had children. By 2005, 18% of women reached 45 without having given birth. Researchers McAllister and Clarke have looked at why increasing numbers of women choose to be childfree. They said that many women felt singlehood was not a good option, especially if they had a career. Children are expensive and demanding of time. People choose not to take on the financial risks of children. The main reason was that they took the decision to have children seriously and felt they did not want the responsibility for a child’s life and getting parenthood wrong. Match the word to the meaning: Newer Family & Household forms Cohabitation Apart/Together Singlehood Lone parenthood Blended family Gay Family How would the world be different if both men and women could choose and were able to give birth to children? Many people live in more than one family or household type as they go through their lives. Discuss how many family or household types your parents or carers have lived in throughout their lives. - People bring up children alone - Both parents are of the same biological sex - People live in separate homes and children move between them - People choose to remain without a partner - People live together - There are two parents but children from more than one relationship
