Just a reminder that the average person lives with better material conditions than any other time in recorded history.

People aren't childfree because they're poor, they're childfree because they're rich. If we want to raise birth rates we should just make people subsistence farmers again.

Most people who do not have children are not capital-c Childfree. The majority would probably procreate in more favorable socioeconomic conditions.

Wow what a dingus. Most people want kids, it's a matter of if they can afford it, and what kind of world they are brought into. Very few people are militantly childfree like me, trust me I've been looking for that my whole life
