Fact is, people in the past had far more worries and were fighting for survival much harder than the average person in rich countries today - and still had far more children.
- viraptor 1y agoIt depends on how much in the past. Pre birth control? Pre retirement funds? Pre free hospitals? That all impacts things.

There's lots of factors, and any answer that just says "Because this one reason obviously", without giving arguments and statistics showing why it's that and not something else, is worthless. It's pretty clearly not simply household income vs. cost of living, though, the data just doesn't support it.
