    The light blue section doesn’t count towards either yes or no, right? Because it’s the “I don’t know” answer.

    I was sitting here wondering how they came to 21% at all without only looking at the oldest category, and even then it’s only a fourth that would not get children.

      For sure, good call out, I think they just mean only 21% of people feel sure about wanting kids, and if we remove the age bias it goes to 26%. Honestly it would be more interesting to compare the categories to answers from 10, 20 or 30 years ago to have a better benchmark for how we could interperet this.

        Yeah, I got distracted by the headline and didn’t notice the bottom text that says it exactly that way.

        I suppose I’m not alone, because I doubt it would’ve been interesting enough to make my feed without the confusion.
