Abstract
Childlessness was studied in a sample of 78 societies from the universe defined by Murdock and White (1969). In all the societies in which presence or absence of solutions to childlessness could be assessed, there were solutions to childlessness. Magico-religious-ethnomedical solutions seem most popular and most likely to be tried first. Women get blamed for childlessness significantly more often than men, which may be a result of the ubiquity of low status for women.
