In 2005,
51 percent of women said they were living without a spouse, up from 35 percent in 1950 and 49 percent in 2000.
Coupled with the fact that in 2005 married couples became a minority of all American households for the first time, the trend could ultimately shape social and workplace policies, including the ways government and employers distribute benefits.

To get a sense of how powerful the marriage effect is, not just for women but for men, too, look at the exit polls by marital status.
Among non-married voters – people who are single and have never married, are living with a partner, or are divorced – Obama beat Romney 62-35. Among married voters Romney won the vote handily, 56-42.

In less developed countries...the more educated women are....the less kids they have?
In more developed countries there are more fat lonely cat ladies with cell phones.....

Supposedly, poor people have sex, therefore kids, while rich people have careers, houses, and status symbols, and then families when they fit into their plans.
Again, I do not know anything about "rich people stuff." I have heard over and over (mostly from the same source) that the more rights that women have, the fewer children they have.
Somehow I think the epitome of that is a childless feminist.
