As people get rich they find more fulfilling things to do, for some this is career building and for some it's just general hedonism. This isn't just a western phenomenon, we can see this in East Asia and in low birth rates of higher classes all around the world.

Lack of values, relativism, nihilism, other words with -ism.

The jews, no really. Feminism, cultural marxism, and overall demoralization of the population

Our entire economy is based around consumer debt.

Wealthy educated people tend to have less kids.
This is because they don't want to sacrifice their standard of living and understand what birth control is.
People who have no or low standard of living and don't know what birth control is tend to shit out kids.

The problem isn't low birth rates. There's no problem with low birth rates. High birth rates are a problem, as is the meme that economic growth must continue to spiral upward no matter the cost (or how impossible a market with no real downturns is).

>The combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP), often referred to as the birth control pill or colloquially as "the pill", is a birth control method that includes a combination of an estrogen (estradiol) and a progestogen (progestin). When taken by mouth every day, these pills inhibit female fertility.

>They were first approved for contraceptive use in the United States in 1960

there, that's literally it.

Generally more people that end up with a better living standard does not want to end up giving it up for a sake of having a lot of kids because it'd jeopardizes it. A lot of them will not want many of their children working at low paying jobs, hence why the immigration from third world will benefit the nation to fix the economic workforce.

When even John Green can admit it....

Feminism and false lack of prosperity. Basically affluent people could inflating the price of raising a child so much they wait until they're too old to have more than 1.9 children. Feminism is obvious, basically women now want sex instead of relationships, which would be swell if they didn't strictly expect it from 8/10s and above who also earn more money than them.

Kids were taught not to have kids.

So girls became women and entered the workforce.

This had the inadvertent consequence (I believe planned result) of making it impossible to have a household on 1 working parent which sort of caused a cascade.

This. You hear a lot of people say they don't want kids because they're a bother to take care of and so expensive. And it's a lot to do with the selfish ideals pushed by the mainstream media. We live to reproduce, we really don't live for ourselves, and telling us we do is one of the most demoralizing things the Jews have done honestly

High birh rates are only a problem if they come from shitty countries and Asia as we don't need them and overpopulate and pollute the world because of their shitty genes and culture. We need higher birth rates in the West, else we will be replaced by idiots really soon.

>>69666151
That's just how demographics work. Anywhere in the world you see more developed countries having lower birth rates.

How come the world population was only 1.6 billion up to 1916. Now it's magically 7.2 billion or thereabouts? We were not meant to grow so fast

Then what happens to their kids? They won't be willing to do the shit jobs their parents did. Just import more unskilled workers for them?

It's the definition of a pyramid scheme

i think we weren't that good with counting population back in 1917 to begin with

Because there's no reason to have kids when they are more of a financial drain than a sound investment. Kids are unaffordable for many people.
