This hits on an interesting point, the more kids in your general life, not just your own but among your family, friends and neighbors, the easier having more kids is. Its interesting in the tit suggests population growth is hard to find a stable equilibrium and instead groups would be expected to oscillate between growing too fast and shrinking.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoYou also have to live near friends and family, not be in an area with cars, and live close enough to each other to be able to walk. The design of modern suburbs precludes most of this, as does moving around for job opportunities/schools with greater proportions of richer kids. Therefore this previously near zero cost activity of raising toddlers becomes a $15k+ per year expense for just daycare, on top of the time you personally have to attend to them at home.
