Birth rates are low because it's expensive as fuck to have a child.
Not just the immediate costs and the cost of raising them, but the opportunity cost of having a child is extremely high too.
Our modern economic system is to blame for low birth rates, not the prevalence of porn.
- dvfjsdhgfv 6y agoThese arguments are not mutually exclusive. It's expensive, it's risky in general (health issues etc.), it's risky for the mother (can be left alone with the child), it's risky for the father (can be left alone and be forced to pay a lot of money each month), it takes time, it takes energy. But before all this happens, you need to have the intention to have a child. Most males wouldn't think about having a child if they're not in a stable relationship. And if all your needs are satisfied, why even bother?
