With the new world-wide sociological-cultural trends, as gay
marriage and children's adoption by married gays and lesbians, more and
more highly-educated women opt to have a child without a partner.
Although most of them would have wanted to have a father for their
children, they don't seem to be successful at developing a long-lasting
relationship with a man. One reason being, that there are still quite a
few number of men who prefer their women to have less education than
them, while the highly-educated women prefer men with equal or higher
education to theirs.
Studies show that most women who opt to have a child on their own are not only highly-educated, but also have a well-paying job, both of which give them the feeling of independence. Due to the seriousness of their decision, most single women take a year and a half to finalize their decision about becoming a mother. Indeed, they would have preferred not to be a single mother, but in the absence of a "suitable partner" they opt to go ahead with artificial insemination.
