> Student loans make it quite difficult to pay for daycare and childcare - especially for infants. Add in the pressure for launching and establishing careers and the whole "baby thing" is being pushed off until the ladies are in their 30s. By that time, they may also be too entrenched in their bachelorette lifestyle to actually get married and have kids.
There are so many assumptions baked into that: that infants and children should be in daycare; that every citizen should go to college (and borrow to pay for it!); that every citizen should have a career; that the single lifestyle is more appealing than marriage and parenthood. But are those necessarily true?
