I dunno about SK but in the USA the road to kids was: partner up, get a stable income, find a home, start a family. The second and third links in that chain are broken for most people. The older generation wants to work into their 70s and own a bunch of rental properties so… no grandkids.
- giantg2 3y agoThe first link has some problems too. Even with the second two fulfilled, the fist is a real blocker for many.
- spacebanana7 3y agoAt macro level, incomes are rising but marriage rates are falling (even with adding in cohabitation).
- giantg2 3y agoReal wages are largely flat for the past 50 years (in the US) as in equality increases. I think thats a big part of the U shaped birth to income graph.

It’s pathetic how people want folks to sacrifice themselves to create more workerbees for society while they demand their housing “investment(s)” continue to blast upward and vote for less housing.
