Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In this paper we explore the correlates of childlessness, only children, and two or more children among white and black women. Past research has either neglected racial differences among women with small completed family sizes, or attributed very low fertility to unique causes for black and white women. While white women’s childlessness has been attributed to greater educational and employment opportunities that conflict with family responsibilities, black women’s childlessness has been viewed as the result of inadequate health care, disease, and coercive sterilization. We re-evaluate these arguments with data from the three most recent waves of the National Survey of Family Growth (cycles 4, 5, and 6). Event history and survival analyses utilizing detailed fertility, adoption, marital, employment, and educational histories indicate striking similarities among white women and black women in how these factors relate to fertility patterns.
