Hard to do. Off the top of my head People are now more selfish. Want me free time to themselves kids take away from that In the last woman were not career focused. Now they are In the last divorces were less, this drives woman to have to be independent and more career focused Men and women are both working, 2 incomes are typically needed to get by today, when the baby comes one will have to give up their job, lack of childcare support and nurseries expensive. People getting married later and that inherently reduces the time to have baby. Also the older you get the harder it is too get preggos. Feel like people are also working longer hours no compared to the past Main one for me is finances preventing people especially middle class who have two jobs.
Yep, all of these factors Which means you would have to heavily incentivise people to have more children with things like tax breaks or Govt issued savings funds etc I think this is what China have done, after reversing their one child policy which has led to a aging population, shrinking workforce and pressure on pensions and healthcare etc
Not really. China isn't producing enough babies at all. They don't have decent maternity and the recent baby making giveout isnt that high. Tax breaks don't really offer enough of an incentive.
Even more reason we'll probably need immigration then, as this is an issue that is affecting lots of developed nations Don't tell @Sucky
Apparently the rapture was supposed to be yesterday, are we missing anyone? (I'd be surprised if we were tbh, even if it happened).
Ffs, I actually had to think about that. Duggie you taking this bro... please log in to view this image
^^^^ this. Plus I think that most of the younger generation know that owning a home, providing for old age is a huge financial burden, so they live for today and today doesn’t include children
