I read something recently that found the majority of the reduction in people having kids is due to getting married later. I.e. if we assume married couples have a fixed probability per year to have children, and unmarried people rarely have kids, then increasing the average age of marriage from 30 to 35 approximately halves the birthrate (because after 40 women generally cannot have children).
