- lumost 2y agoIt's not different in the US - talk to any tech couple and you'll either hear about nannies and babysitters or a stay at home partner. Housing prices are high enough that you either must choose a very long commute with a stay at home partner, or the nanny/babysitter route. Stay at home partnership is very unappealing as Millennials were majority raised by divorced parents. Often by the parent who was stay at home and found themselves in perilous economic circumstances. Anecdotally, I'm not seeing many babies in my extended high school network. I have a daughter, but honestly could not afford more children despite both my partner and I working at top-tier tech firms. Barring a major change in circumstance, which reduced costs/competition - I would expect the birthrate in the US to follow that of Asian and European economies.
