What's interesting is birth rates say otherwise. The wealthier you are the lower your birthrate. People that can certainly afford to have many children are not where as very low income people are having many. I think it's something more than people feeling like they can't afford it.

- lotsofpulp 5y agoBirth rates for lower incomes are plummeting too, so I think it is mostly lack of access to birth control like IUDs and pills, but also lack of women’s financial independence. https://www.statista.com/statistics/562541/birth-rate-by-poverty-status-in-the-us/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/562541/birth-rate-by-pov...
