ENThe aim of the article is to analyse the ethnological sources and investigations dealing with the phenomenon of childlessness in Lithuania. The paper analyses the ethnological sources and investigations carried out in Lithuania, which reveal the attitude a traditional village community had concerning childless people belonging to the community, also, the members of rural or urban modern society. The work deals with the problem of change concerning the attitude to childlessness from the 20th century until the beginning of the 21st century. We concentrate upon the studies carried out in the 21st century, which are becoming increasingly interdisciplinary. [From the publication]
