    Abstract

    Who are MAWF? Men ageing without family (MAWF) are a group that are invisible and an aィront to traditional expectations. The MAWFs are all around and occupy every social category – so how are they invisible? The major reason why MAWFs are invisible is that the UK (unlike most countries, except Norway) only collects details on how many children a woman has had. The level of childless men is not known although a cohort study indicated that in 2012, 25.4% of men and 19% of women had no biological children of their own.
