"Singletons"

It's a word I never heard of until recently. "Singleton." I was recently reading an article about one of the fastest growing trends in families in America. "Singleton" refers to families who choose to only have one child. According to the last U.S. Census, one-child families are the "fastest growing family unit." I'm not really sure what all this means or why this is such a growing trend. Either way, it's extremely interesting to me that the "only child" is something that is becoming more and more common.

Anyone have any thoughts about why this is increasinly becoming the norm?
