It's part of the culture now. Marriage, kids, church... these are things of the past.
Young people want to retire early and not work... they want to enjoy themselves. Having kids is hard.. it takes time and money... lots. All of which could be used for travel, entertainment, etc.
The article mentions it.. but everyones' focus is on themselves now. Just how it is.
Hmm, I reckon its people having kids with no thought,
Its just what you do, is actually the selfish choice
@PacifistRobLibertarian2wks2W
What is "selfish" about having as many children as you can support? It's actually the opposite. Is it selfish to nurture, teach and take care of other people; to bring children into the world to help produce things and improve the world?
"As you can support"
is the key qualifier in that phrase and is not what is happening. The responsible segment of the population is finding that being responsible makes it difficult to have children. Those who are not responsible have no such barrier
