This is good, since it keeps up with our delaying of life milestones in many parts of the country. I'm 34, and about half of my friends are single and most don't have kids.

Since you are on HN, you and your friends most likely men. https://www.webmd.com/men/news/20060601/how-many-men-become-fathers https://www.webmd.com/men/news/20060601/how-many-men-become-... Also, does living longer mean longer fertility window for women?

Your comment presumes those to be quasi-obligatory "milestones". Perhaps more and more people are choosing not to marry and choosing not to have kids at all. Both are consistent with rising overall prosperity.

    World fertility rates are on decline for decades regardless of the economy situation or societal structure.
