Birth rates are falling all over the world. People aren't childless despite trying. They're just not trying, for the most part.
- hammock 4y ago>People aren't childless despite trying That's simply not true. Worldwide, sperm counts have dropped by 50-60% over the last 50 years (and the decline is accelerating). Sperm motility has been declining as well. These factors have a direct impact on fertility despite trying
- eastbound 4y agoDivisive politics, social media, many things have an impact on fertility which can individually have more impact than even dropping sperm count by 50%.

- lm28469 4y ago> sperm counts have dropped by 50-60% over the last 50 years Still more than enough to get a kid unless you have other issues, biology might play a role but it isn't the main factor here. Plenty of country with massive baby booms right now
- remote_phone 4y agoProbably because many advanced countries can’t thrive financially with only one spouse working. In many countries it takes but people working in order to afford things like a house in a safe enough neighborhood to want to think about kids.
