re: Fertility rates drop to record low in 2023

Women don’t want to have children in the prime birthing years anymore.

That is most likely the #1 factor here.

This is 90% of it. Women now get overwhelming preferential treatment in corporate America. They enjoy the perks and travel and do not want to get bogged down with kids too early. Problem is they delay too long and their clock runs out.

Also they don't want to get married and have children with men they think are less successful than them.

The only way to increase the birth rate is to give men more power in the workplace. Then women might return to a traditional role and start having kids again.

We all know that wont happen though. Elon is right we are going extinct.
