Your point is a good one. Some of this is the result of unintended consequences. The ripple of effect of birth control and worse, abortion, comes to mind.
Thanks; it ties directly to the costs of socialism, and in more than one way. Examples in my area are the fact that employers don’t want to be taxed heavily for socialist programs, so they leave; this creates an unstable employment situation, so young people don’t risk having families (only to find themselves unemployed). Unemployment in Western Europe has been a nagging problem for decades, and that instability creates very pessimistic young people - and now we are living through the same scenario..
