description A life scenario based on childlessness («childfree») is formed and is gaining increasing acceptance in modern society. Its comprehension in the context of postmodernism makes it possible to identify macrosociological reasons for changing family values and reproductive behavior in the modern world.

The need for detailed scientific study and understanding of this phenomenon is due to serious socio-demographic consequences.
