[Carl Vehse]

"Why are so many adults in rich countries refusing to have kids?"

• The enemedia's denigration of a family unit, consisting of a father, mother and children
• Delayed marriage by males (to go to college)
• Delayed marriage by women (to go to college and have a career besides being a wife and mother)
• Student debt (which further delays marriage)
• Easy availability of birth control
• Ease of divorce
• Urban living
