Why is the birth rate declining?

I will start with me, well in the past all my relationships were pretty bad with pretty bad girls, but then it is out of selfishness, I really enjoy going on trips, having fun with friends, and just timed myself. The other darker side, I don't have very good genetics and I don't think I will live long enough to be a dad.

Declining living standards which forces people to think about themselves first before even considering starting a family or having more kids.

The whole work environment has a detrimental effect on Families in general, and family compositions specifically; I will claim that this is a cause of the increase in divorce too. Many people simply do not have the time and energy anymore to look after others/ multiple people.

But do you want a baby? That will wake you at night. And cry for a million things?

Hell no! I'm too selfish for kids

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

The easiest answer is that no one can afford to safely have and raise a kid. They’re not making enough money to do so, nor is there easy access to childcare that would allow them to have a kid even without funds.

[Asker]

Hugely agree.

Too many selfish people. They don't wanna put their energy into raising a kid

[Astarlessnightsky]

Its hard as fuck to raise and pay for a kid and its getting harder and harder.

[LazerBean]

People are marrying later and wanting fewer children.

Girls aren't fucking!
