I think a lot of people not having kids are making that choice because it’s no longer financially or socially easy or possible to do. As usual politicians and corporations want the poor and middle class to bare the burden (have more kids to support the older generations who screwed them over, and continue pumping money into the economy), but won’t do anything to truly help, because it hurts the bottom line.
