    Why are so many people having fewer and fewer children?

    Becase you have given women automony; via work, the right to choose and mostly taken religious shaming away. When they control their destiny, they’ll mostly choose 0,1 or 2 children… Replacement rate for a steady population is 2.1

    No amount of childcare subsidy or work flexibility will change that, it’s the same in places like Swdean. Same all over the world in developed countries

      To be clear, nobody sane is arguing against women’s rights. It’s just an inconvenient truth.

      That and micro plastics in our balls means that the future is a lesser Children of Men, which honestly is for the best considering the most ecologically damaging action for sustainability is having kids.
