Résumé
L’absence d’enfant dans la vie des femmes résulte de l’interaction de multiples facteurs sur les plans familial, scolaire, conjugal et professionnel, entre autres. Cette étude démontre l’apport des méthodes mixtes pour explorer la multidimensionnalité des parcours de vie des femmes sans enfant. Elle mobilise l’analyse séquentielle de données d’enquête (sequence analysis) ainsi que l’analyse qualitative thématique d’entretiens semi-directifs auprès de non-mères québécoises nées entre 1947 et 1956. Cette stratégie méthodologique débouche sur une typologie compréhensive de quatre parcours de vie différents présentant chacun une imbrication particulière des trajectoires scolaire, conjugale et professionnelle.

Abstract
The absence of children in women’s lives is the result of multiple factors related to family, education, marital status and profession, among others. This study demonstrates the value of using mixed methods to explore the multidimensionality of the life paths of childless women. Our approach involves both the sequential analysis of survey data and the qualitative thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with Quebec non-mothers born between 1947 and 1956. This methodological strategy leads to a comprehensive typology of four different life paths, each with its own combination of academic, marital and professional trajectories.
