The thing about an increasingly childless economy is that it has major implications for【C2】______.

Even after you control for income, age, education, and【C4】______status, families with young kids spend more every day.

In particular, childless couples don’t need space for more kids so they’re less【C16】______to buy homes in the suburbs,【C17】______demand for housing that badly needs to sell more homes. In other words,【C18】______families and less household formation【C19】______the U.S. economy of housing and transportation spending, which has historically accounted for half of family【C20】______.
