That's nonsense. Across the developed world, economic pressure on young people is reducing the options available to them. Many more couples would have more children if the economic barriers were removed, including the impact on career and cost of childcare.
Of course, developed nations will (hopefully) never return to the 5+ children per woman which sustained and grew the world population for millennia.
- ponector 2y agoThe truth is birth rates are down almost everywhere, not only across rich countries. Economic issues? Loneliness? People spend time in TikTok instead of dating? Modern high standards of living makes it hard to rise children. That's why rich people usually have many. Average Joe can not afford 3 kids.
