Is there a fundamental reason for it, or is it just the way it is right now?
Because the world is kind of shit right now, and that could be the reason people don't procreate - I, personally, don't want to bring children into the world the way it is right now and the way it is going. The way I see it, as soon as the quality of life grows, people will continue procreating the way they did so far for decades.
- sveme 4y agoIt's dropping since the 1950s, so not a fluke. Major reasons are probably improvements in living conditions (yes, in comparison to the 50s), the invention and widespread use of contraception and social security (which removes the need for kids to support you in old age).

- sveme 4y agoThe quality of life has dropped since the 50s? Definitely not im Germany or Europe in general. On what metrics has it dropped?

As people become better off, they have fewer children, because the near certainty that those children will survive. In developed and egalitarian countries, women frequently delay having children until it is too late. Particularly the very educated.
