"Childfree Life" article from summer 2013 - Afterthoughts

Summer 2013 featured an article in Time called "The Childfree Life" with a cover photo of two young people in swimsuits.  On the inside of the story the couple sat up and the beach was visible, with them on the beach another couple was shown, one with children.  My afterthought was that this illustration on the inside of the magazine portrayed the situation wrongly.  According to the most recent numbers, the illustration should have shown four couples with children on the beach with them. 

This is another example of biased description of the situation for non-parents.  The people without children are outnumbered by the people with children.
