Abstract
The relationship between childlessness and income is investigated using 1971 Canadian census data. The rate of childlessness among rural French Catholics is used to represent the maximum rate of physiological childlessness. By using various residence and education groups, hypothesized relationships between income and voluntary and involuntary childlessness are tested. The findings support the suggestion that income is inversely related to involuntary childlessness and directly related to voluntary childlessness.
