Anyone have some kind of even handed analysis on hand that explains whether or not all this panic for decades about birth/fertility rates has legs? I only ever give it a passing glance and i accidentally clicked a video the other day and it was some rightwing guy talking about some retvrn shit
I asked bc like the article states: the real problem is the price of housing. It seems to me that falling birth rates are a symptom of capitalism's decline. However, many article writers seem to dance around that
Highly developed capitalist countries tend to have low birth rates because people are alienated and atomized and having children is an untenable burden for workers who are already working themselves to exhaustion and barely getting by.
I think some people underestimate how obscenely expensive raising a baby is, borderline impossible without a strong support system
