It’s simply that for the first time in human history women have alternative options that don’t suck. That’s literally it. Birth rates will remain high only in socially conservative highly religious countries. Liberal democracies? No chance.
- hyhatqtv 4mo agoIt would be interesting to see to what extent exactly this is accurate (of course to a certain extent it is) if the majority of the population in liberal democracies had the option of having more than 1-2 children without massively compromising their material wellbeing (or the future of their offspring due to the lack of resources).
- zdragnar 4mo agoThere's a few confounding factors: - larger percentage of population living in urban centers without the room for larger families - full time employment for both spouses becomes necessary as cost of living increases - delayed marriage and delayed age of first child means fewer children can be safely carried to birth The "highly liberal democracies" is just pleasant coding for "consumerized".
