Why are fewer people getting married and having kids these days?

[KathrynTaylor]

[Anonymous]

Our cultural leaders for 60+ years have sold us unaffordable standards in partner and income. All while our political leaders have worked to diminish with global competition via immigration and trade the income of the very young and thus low skilled demographic able to have children.

That said nearly everyone around the world today and in history had far more children with far less resources.

So the main problem is cultural and allocation of resources. Specifically the vital resource of mothers who are instead directed to spend most all of the only years in which they can have children in school and building a career.

They are led to believe this is needed to meet that ever higher cultural and financial bar, but in practice they usually of them miss the boat entirely trying chasing that lie.

[imtiaz45]

Fewer people are getting married and having kids due to a combination of social, economic, and personal factors. Rising costs of living, including housing and childcare, make family life financially challenging for many. Career priorities and the desire for personal freedom have led people to delay or forgo marriage and parenthood. Additionally, changing cultural norms mean marriage and children are no longer seen as essential milestones. Women's increasing educational and professional opportunities also influence these decisions. The uncertainty brought by global crises, like the pandemic and economic instability, further complicates long-term planning.

Western society - sure. English society - 100%. Because, bluntly, ever since the hippi era yours has been a corruptive culture wherein crime, degenerative behavior, etc. is idolized/normalized and respectable / decent behavior is protrayed as undesirable.

No other way to explain why some areas of UK, Canada and the USA are more 3rd world slums than slums in 3rd worlds are.

Other cultures - Europeans (specifically Mediterraneans so southern French, Spanish, Italian as well as eastern & east central); Asians; Middle Easterners & even some Africans 10 to 100 times are more family and community focused than English / Americanized or countries heavily influenced by English / Amercianized concepts.

[Brittanyroseee]

Because people suck.
Relationships suck.
The economy sucks.
Kids are expensive as fuck.
Kids are hard work.
Its 2024 and people also realized they have other interests in life, other goals, other priorities.
Not everyone likes kids, or is even “maternal”.
Kids are a huge responsibility and not something you “try and see if you like it”.

[Justneedtokno]

This is simple because it’s all expensive. Kids are expensive and it’s scary to have children now that it’s always been scary to have children.
But people don’t hold marriage to great value as they used to or they don’t deem it as sacred anymore as it should be. It’s a case by case thing is an individual base thing.

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

believe me if it was just money men would find a way to make money worth something again by basically overthrowing their corrupt governments. Its something more insidious than that, the propaganda, the new emergence of social media, immigrant influx to abate the demand for young men in fields like construction…

The concept of marraige is foreign, it it was bastardize and used as a weapon by the state to ruin kids and extract money from the father they would incentivize women and mothers to do this for decades, now yeah the economy sucks, men would rather just play video games
Then Work construction with a bunch of people that don’t speak English don’t share the same culture, and these low testosterone men raised by single moms. Don’t want to go to the gym to work out and attract a mate so they just check out and make excuses that they’re not tall enough.

[Justneedtokno]

As I stated before, it is an individual case by case situation. Whatever you and your partner chooses, cool

I’m not sure where immigration got into my comment because I never brought it up.

Childcare is expensive research it, I wouldn’t wish parenthood on one person alone never. As a woman, the birthing process is a scary thing. It would be nice to have somebody in my corner. I would love to be married.

You also have to understand women are individual beings before meeting their husbands right so they have a job. They’re not totally relying on a man nowadays. Not all our sucking men dry or whatever you think they doing some don’t even accept child support. Please get that concept.

And lastly, I think a lot of individuals don’t wanna be married there is access and vulnerability involved

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

Immigration has a lot to do with this because there are not young men native to the areas. They are born in here in the US anymore to fill the jobs needed for construction infrastructure and other related jobs that only men do.

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

And the reason why that has a lot to do with this is THE falling native birth rates, people don’t wanna get married anymore. There are many reasons and I’m not blaming either sex.

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

Both sexes are fucked up

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

However men would fix it if they thought it was worth it that’s just the truth, we sort of created the problems and we’ve historically been the ones to fix the problems as well, there doesn’t seem any way out of this

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

Immigration is basically a replacement culture moving in to fill the void of negative birth rates

[CB-Raido-Time]

@Oncewildtwiceburned Immigration is about white genocide. www.bitchute.com/search

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

@CB-Raido-Time naw, its about mammon worshipping covetous assholes

[Justneedtokno]

Immigration is one cause but not a total of everything that has to do with marriage.

There’s issues on both sides of the genders that has to be addressed. One is maturity, vulnerability, mental and emotional readiness when it comes to marriage, sustainability, and financial

Let’s face it a lot of people in America not men don’t want to work the entry level positions anymore. They want more money and especially if there is no coverage so of course immigrants will take any job that is given because nobody that lives. Here is actually taking the jobs. Let’s be real but unfair treatment overtime creates distress and no loyalty and if you think about it a bachelors degree doesn’t even hold the same weight as the high school diploma anymore

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

This is wrong there are still networks and enclaves of farmers and ranchers (not luddites) that homeschool their kids. Where a degree is not needed but a father however and a mother, yes.

And trade job guys make BANK

[Justneedtokno]

There are very few coves of families still living that type of lifestyle. And there are some that are going back to it sure and some that wanna branch off and franchise I do understand. But it’s not completely wrong due to the fact that it’s dying off and as I stated before, a bachelors degree in this day and age doesn’t hold the same weight as it did many years ago you have to have a masters and more for some companies so even look at you some construction jobs. Don’t just pick you up off the street like they used to they didn’t even pick up
Like you show up ready to work with your clothes on day labor the world is not the same. You can’t put in an application at the job site. You have to go online to do certain things.

I think we’ve straight away from the topic here we were talking about marriage and the lack of replenishing the world I’ve made my point several times

Has nothing to do with immigration has nothing to do with the economy

It has everything to do with what I just spoke about again, the issues with marriage and having children at this time, women are afraid to have children by themselves. Both genders are afraid to be vulnerable. Mature, we need mental stability, emotional readiness, sustainability, and financial stability throughout all of it. That’s it.

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

Literally 50% of my county are in agriculture. More than half of those kids learn how to do it from their dads and go on to do just that on their families property, it ebs and flows.

There is a lack of young people to draw workers from today, immigrants on visas are moving in as some people are selling multi-generation farms/ranches to large mega corps.

I am saying propaganda has destroyed the country and made it to where these young men will be dying for nothing but a paycheck and the brothers in chains drafted next to them. When the dust settles if we go nuclear who knows what it will be like.

I wanted to mention hoflation but honestly after wars there is a surplus of women not men so Joeflation and legitimate polygamy will probably be a thing in a more countries

[CB-Raido-Time]

@Oncewildtwiceburned I see somebody didn't bother with the link. They are openly stating it and if others don't want to hear what they saying (deny the truth), there is nothing I can do about that.

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

@CB-Raido-Time South African immigrants have overstayed visas and started selling meth, i have 0 respect for them, I grew up in the middle of nowhere on the end of a two track road. Never really thought white chicks were attractive. You know kings and conquers loved foreign since the dawn of time. I really don’t care about race, I don’t like the banking tribe or samolians that’s it, little to do with race

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

*foreign women

[Justneedtokno]

See that’s on your side but on my side there’s a bunch of women having children and they’re more into public schools and it’s not agriculture. It’s more of education and concrete cities and this is. I do believe in trade schools I do believe in what you’re saying you say it’s propaganda, but I’m saying two things can be true. They are different sides of a cultural, living and cultural, no norms

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

I guess we’re on the same page, or close enough. I know childcare is expensive. I was a single dad for a while. so is eating out so is dating

[CB-Raido-Time]

(I’m not sure where immigration got into my comment because I never brought it up.)

Immigration aka (EVASION) has all to do with why (citizens) are not having children. A country is invaded and all the jobs are taken by invaders via (treachery) the actual citizens stop having children because there are no jobs.

[Daniela1982]

Because they would rather meet their needs with casual sex instead of marriage, and they would rather abort their children than have them. That is it in a nutshell.

[DJB72]

In a word, Feminism.

Newsflash: you can't actually "have it all" because guys don't want a worn out hag to make a family with.

Feminism today is actually misandry masquerading as "equality". But even if you freeze your eggs at 23, your uterus is still 35 when you try to grow a baby in it. And the genocide of unborn in the West is unprecedented in 3000 years since Moloch and Ba'al worship ended overtly.

[DJB72]

And it's as bad for guys as girls...

[Telekinetic-Potato]

A mix between the economy and a culture that doesn't support a traditional family anymore.

It's cool people want to progress certain aspects of society but I think it's really only been hurting us that we act like it wasn't working.

[jshm2]

People are too insecure and too uncertain, is why.

People want the "best of things" and it's drummed into their heads that they can only get it with money. Getting "married" means sharing that money, and kids mean more money. So on and so forth.

The obsession with money is what has poisoned people minds in the West.

[boggboss]

Men and women tend to be more divided and find it harder to make union's these days as for kids many are put off by the current economy and shitty housing market in the west

[Likes2drive]

Marriage is not an advantage for a guy and kids cost too much to raise because they need care and health insurance and childcare for both parents to work, it used to be affordable years ago to have a big family but now you can’t even get a house big enough to afford for a family to live in. Young couples can’t even afford to buy a house to have children in

[LiamJHayden]

Marriage: many see no need, and others see a lot of divorces and do not want to risk that.

Kids: One big reason is the costs

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

Hoeflation and broken men raised by single moms.

[Ariesman81]

Bottom line

[In_Trance]

Because fewer people believe in the church and the state.
Quite frankly why would you want to have kids now? Have you seen the shit show of a planet we live on?

[Kelly6]

@KathrynTaylor Financial purpose and stress

[Berethor]

It because the new left, it didn't been like that before the new left's era.

[exitseven]

You can have just as much sex or maybe more by not being married. Kids cost piles of money.

[Smashingdoozy]

People can barely afford to take care of themselves much less someone else.

[XXTruthfulOgrexx]

What's the benefits? Seriously, what possible benefits does it offer that you can't get while being single and drama free?

[Agape93]

Too many drawbacks, too expensive and not enough fulfillment

[paledreams]

I'm too selfish, I had other things going on, and I couldn't juggle it all - so here I am at 30 🥳🥳🥳😋😉😚😃 smiling so broadly 😅✌🏻🥳

[Anonymous]

we cannot afford our milestones in this day and age because of how the world is. while some, it may not even be a choice!

[DextroShade]

Inflation is making kids less affordable for more people.

Hoeflation is causing a scarcity of women who are suitable and willing to be wives.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Some people might not want marriage & kids is why. Or at least one reason why.

[ProbablyClueless]

For a whole lot of people, the risk and cost of failure simply outweighs the benefits. It's a simple math equation.

[Jennz6]

Not a lot to offer children in this world

[Jennz6]

@KathrynTaylor I still am thinking about getting pregnant but I don’t have a regular boyfriend

[KathrynTaylor]

Sounds fair

[Jennz6]

Maybe someday?

[KathrynTaylor]

Yeah, why not? 😊

[Jennz6]

My clock is ticking

[RavVid]

It is a very bad idea for a guy to do this. We are the relationship gate keeper

[Surely]

Why bring a child into a country that could turn into a third world country overnight?

[noohair]

Having kids requires a strong person, willing to sacrifice for the future. I think that the character of sacrifice is missing in society today. It is the me generation.

[Avicenna]

Child care is very expensive

[Unit1]

I rarely eat breakfast and I wish I could eat breakfast every day. That's why.

[Vegasrunner]

You have to use logic. There's nothing in marriage for men so it stands to reason that fewer men are choosing marriage.

[dragoblack]

Because it's not affordable and guys are tired of being mentally, financially, and emotionally abused.

[Brittanyroseee]

Same with women. We are sick of being left stuck with the man’s baggage (his child)

[Brittanyroseee]

Men abuse women too

[disappoint3d]

Because we don't want to pass on the existential burden of life on earth to a person who had no choice in the matter.

[AmeerX]

Because they're fools who are being led to believe life is long and kids are an expense and thinking of gadgets as important

[Brittanyroseee]

Kids are expensive af. This economy sucks.

[Brittanyroseee]

Not all of us are obsessed with gadgets. Some of us just prefer to have a life, freedom. No constraints. Nothing tying us down. We also value our money too especially in this shit hole of an economy. A lot of us care about our career’s which are important in life because it pays our bills

[Brittanyroseee]

A baby won’t pay my bills. A career will. A baby won’t pay my rent, a career will.

[Brittanyroseee]

Kids are even more expensive if they are born with a severe disability costing you to be a lifelong caregiver so I don't know what makes you think they are cheap🤣

[AmeerX]

Oh please,
What freedom, a person who thinks he is free if he is travelling and living the dream life is just as much in an illusion as a person who takes responsibility and courage to raise children.
And all children are not going to be born disabled. We should think of positive.
And economy is if you can give the child food, clothes and medicine. That's enough. Sounds like someone has lack of faith in God's Will

[Brittanyroseee]

Oh please. Freedom as in, my own company not being bothered 24/7.
Freedom to leave my house to run errands without dragging a child with me.
Freedom to take a piss alone.
Should i go on?

[Brittanyroseee]

No when it comes to children you must think about the negatives and all the possible outcomes with them. Its being realistic.

[AmeerX]

Someone gave birth to you. Please if they are alive, go tak to them and if they think like this then please by all means be glad.
The material wealth is not going to help you. Our children are our future:)

[Brittanyroseee]

Someone gave birth to me and gave me up for adoption 🤣not everyone needs to have kids. Do u want people who don’t want kids to have them still and then neglect them or abuse them?

[Brittanyroseee]

Career is important for life unless you are fine struggling financially

[Brittanyroseee]

I don’t really like kids.

[Brittanyroseee]

Im not being awful by saying that you need to think about the cons of having kids and all the possible outcomes. Its reality.

[Brittanyroseee]

Im not a “kid” person. I dont go goo goo gah gah when i see babies and toddlers. My friends have kids and i just… don’t even pay attention to them

[Brittanyroseee]

I would rather have a dog🤣

[seth900]

For Europeans its to expensive, but for migrants its i guess our government give them financial support.

[monkeymanoohaah]

Most people only want sex outside of marriage these days or they get married to get divorced

[grega239]

Womwn are too busy with their careers and men dont want to be fucked by divorce courts

[msc545]

Because narriae is financial and social suicide for men - and we know it.

[BLP11520]

Well, Biden Harris have ruined the economy for one🤔

[ManInChains]

Because of politics and feminism 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Simslover92]

The economy.

[fonduegirl]

They're being mindful
