More and more women do not want to have children: the percentage of those who choose not to be mothers has risen to 15.5%, according to the INE (National Institute of Statistics).

Data from the Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE) indicates a rise in the percentage of women choosing not to have children. The figure has increased from 12.3% in 2018 to 15.5% in 2025. This trend reflects a shift in reproductive choices within the population.

Beyond those opting out of parenthood, the data reveals a disparity between desired and actual family size among those who have already had children. Approximately 34.8% of mothers report having fewer children than they originally intended, highlighting additional complexities regarding fertility and family planning.
