Could car seats, housing costs and smartphones explain falling birth rates?

COST OF LIVING, SOCIAL MEDIA, FEMINISM

well... maybe the people banning social media for under 16s if it can be enforced will help humanity!?

Surely there is more influence from income instability; wars and rumours of wars. Young people now have the choice and more information to help make a choice and birth control to make it safe. Slava Ukraine

So 2008 financial crisis ruined peoples chances of owning a home but then social media and the advent of better internet ruined people socialising

Fearmongering

COVID? "Hanging out" chart mysteriously stopped at this point in time? Did it rebound..

It really was that damn phone

The 3rd estate are the rich and it will happen again

We had a population decline in Western Europe multiple times, e.g. black death 14th century halved population. It drove workers rights.

i am pretty sure covid has also something to do with

Overpopulation. Maybe Thanos had the right idea.

Two rich guys showing charts, going around in circles, blaming everything else but inequality and the collapse of living standards, not just in the West but everywhere in the world.

Its cuz I'm drowning in student loan debt dude

There are way too many people, a natural pullback is long overdue.

Obviously we need another world war. It worked in Star Trek 😂

I am becoming convinced this is a mixed-media installation…”The Art of Ed Conway”…and I am here for it❤❤❤

Social media

Should have included Spain. Merged immigrants into the job sectors needed most, including construction. , fastest growing economy in Europe, reversing depopulation trends.

Plastics give of gases that can sterilise people. Poorer countries use more plastic utensils the wealthy countries. 😅

I blame PFOA and micro-plastics

Because the country is being run by some sort of cartel !!

Because all the MONEY, HOUSES, RESOURCES, are being hoovered up by the billionaires.. raising prices faster than wages for the last 30 years. Pure, untamed capitalism leads to a neo-feudal state, where we have kings and peasants

If anyone is interested in actual research and not the personal grievances of people in the commemts read Dr Alice Evans, Lyman Stone, Tyler Cowen, Fernandez Villaneuve, etc

Lol isnt it obvious? Its social media and exisiting online than in real life

The goldfish bowl affect: that’s how I always think of this. Just can’t grow in this economy so subconsciously we stunt our population.

Soical media is why 😢

Car seats have an impact on fertility? Give it a rest 😄 Correlation doesn't equal causation.

In an overpopulated world what’s the problem. ponzi world we live in the west, will have to come to terms with fewer benefits as we age

We all the know the reason why! 😂😂😂 Let's continue to talk around this issue

No resources and no social infrastructure

It isn't a mystery. Globalisation has caused a lack of societal identity and security.

Maybe we have reached peak human...its all down hill from now

Infrastructure must be made fit to grow old with. This means fully accessible housing and public places and transport, new and updated. It applies everywhere in the world.

Let’s see what the manosphere has to say 😂

No money, no houses and the pill stops the accident births.

world population will get to 10 billion by 2070 and then stabilize for another 100 years. by then probably all wild animals would be extinct!

Hmmm could it be that no one has money for socialising, housing and food

Covid jabs

No its not at all that women are choosing not to have a family and have a career instead.

Is anyone going to address the elephant in the room or….?

They are annoying maybe

The fact that men have to pay dates for hobby daters who use guys for free meals and have intention to commit, we just cba anymore so many guys opted out of even dating now. Women have incomes but still expect the men to pay for dates to get to know them. What’s the point.

Government, Government, and Government…
