No money, no house, no job = no children.
nailed it.
its not rocket science. the boomers are just buying time 'pretending' not to get it.
Isn’t it selfish to decide “I want a child”? Surely the decision should be made to bring a life into this world if you believe you can give it a great life.

i think if i hadnt been in a stable relationship by the time i was 30 i would have found it much more difficult to have children before 35 Once a woman is past 35 fertility drops off dramatically.
That seems to be the case for many women who realise in their 30ties they do want a family but they don't have a partner who is at the same stage as them.
I met my partner when I was 33 and we do have one boy and another little one on the way, but that wasn't without some heartbreak - starting family in your mid 30ties is not for the fainthearted.
The average age of first-time mothers in South Korea is 33.5 years . And the brith rate is now at 0.68
It is estimated that 40% of women born in Japan in 2,000 will not have children. Or chilliness.
The communist policy = tax on chilliness . could have prevented this and at least (40% ) these women had at least 1 child
Which population crisis? What epidemic?
The consumer epidemic.
Large corpos not having clients to sell to.
No work force. No one to clean the rich people's toilets (since bots can't do it yet)
No one to compare your wealth with.

The inverted population pyramids.
@@Nakatoa0taku So? That's a different issue. The species is still heading for 10 billion by 2050. The crisis is the amount of energy and resources these people will expect. The future is looking more like the past in that regard, think horses, not Teslas.
Mansplaing motherhood!
Weak click bait title.😒
it isn't even just the biology... if you're a woman and you suddenly want a child, you either have a partner that didn't want any so far (and probably continues to do so), or you don't have a partner, or you have one that may not be suited, or you have one that does want kids and is suited. but let's be real here - the latter is probably more of an exception.
so now they have to scramble to find a suitable guy and frankly, most guys who do want kids are probably already married as are the high earners who would typically be selected. so women may not have a choice at all. or be a single mother.
that's got to be a big piece of the puzzle.
I believe this is a big piece of the puzzle and the issue women are having.
When I started seriously considering whether I wanted to have a family, I had to end the relationship I was in and start again. I was lucky, I met my partner within a year and we decided to start a family really quickly, but this is certainly not something that could be successfully carried out at scale.
Many women will simply miss out - whether it is due to biology or circumstances.
men are avoiding women
too much Andrew Tate and not enough Alan Watts.
Andrew Tate is right @@kellychuba
Long covid is also leading many people to forget about having children. But this is a tabu subject
The fertility of both men and women is going down and there's so little focus on restoring fertility - we have so much that's been linked to the declining rates, but our focus seems to be more on reproductive technologies, rather than looking at what is causing the decline of the natural fertility.
@@WisdomRebellion That's sadly because there's little money to be made avoiding the problem but much money to be made providing treatments. The U.S. government seems to fund very little to find causative factors underlying disease and other problems like declining fertility.
People don't understand how illness/disease affects fertility. I've watched a few videos on it, so it's probably the algorithm's outreach. I don't think it's taboo though. A lot of things affect fertility and it's no secret that it has been declining for the last 40+ years.
@@WisdomRebellion it's not only a question of fertility. An estimated 5% of the us population have long covid symptoms, among them constant pain , sleeplessness and exhaustion, leading also to financial problems and all sorts of abuse. These people will forget about having children even if they are still fertile. This is also often a burden to the people around them. And those who experience that, even if they recover, and the people around them, will be in fear of having long covid again or of their child having long covid. So they will feel unable to provide the safe environment that is necessary to raise a child in decent circumstances.
duh. 🙄
