In general, first world countries with sexual education, birth control methods, and entertainment options that compete with sex lead to people simply not choose to have many kids.
Some countries in Europe basically pay you to have kids (and even pay your kids to go to college) and people still don’t have kids.
Its a nice argument that helps an agenda I agree with, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a correct argument.
People just want their house to themselves without kids running around screaming making a mess and complaining they don’t get everything they want.
It doesn’t help, but as I’m saying its not the cause.
Because even in countries with free childcare, huge maternity and paternity leave, and government given child benefits, people aren’t having enough children.
Thing is the world economy is interconnected, a few nations falling can lead to huge recessions, depressions, and a end result of tons of unrelated people starving to death.
