What was said
"86% by the time the end of their maternal life. But don't forget that women who get to the end of their biological clock, they hit menopause and can't have kids, but didn't have kids. 80% of them didn't intend to be childless. 4 out of 5."
Venker cites data showing that of the 14% of women who reach menopause without children, 80% did not choose to be childless—they simply ran out of time. Only about 10% of all women are intentionally child-free, contradicting narratives that women are increasingly choosing not to have children.
