Not the other way around (for a number of reasons you mentioned). Also - As Americans become more self focused ("Self Focused" - because it's a larger category that just - career. It could include love of learning, PHD focused, Yoga, traveling, or even just video games) the birthrate is going down across America. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/03/health/united-states-fertility-rate.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/03/health/united-states-fert...
