Morphology

childbearing = child + bearing (transparent) = child + bear + ing

A straightforward compound of 'child' + 'bearing' (bearing = giving birth), so the meaning is directly inferable from the parts.

Etymology

Childbearing comes from two simple words: child and bearing, where bear once meant 'to carry' and also 'to give birth'. So when we say 'childbearing years' or 'childbearing women' we mean the time or people connected with carrying or having babies.
