Because there is no welfare system. Also, women work more now. Life is extremely expensive even with two incomes. Adding kids on top of that makes things even harder trying to juggle the financial side and creches. And my personal reason, life is much more fulfilling without having to raise kids. I can do what I want, move where I want. I'm glad I never had any.
