This article notes that "right-wing governments, including the US and Hungary, are increasingly blaming falling fertility rates on a rejection of parenthood", as if today's young adults just don't want children.

But the author suggests that actually people do want children, and one of the main reasons they're having fewer children is because they can't afford many children.

Thoughts?

Most people, woman or not, don't have "careers"

They have jobs vast majority of which are very low quality lol

Honestly can't tell if you're trolling with this.

Any job that would give you an advantage when applying for a new job (ie. Prior experience) is part of a career. For more formal careers like Medicine and Law they are an absolute necessity and often formally defined, for careers like Bartender, the requirements are more fluid, but experience (and particularly unbroken experience) is very important when applying for jobs.
