"Millennials aren't having kids"
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/11/03/millennials-only-children/
I love seeing the data on this.  It really follows closely what I see in my personal life among my friends.  What do you think are the reasons? I don't think it will turn around, millennial are rapidly approaching 40 or are already there.  [/quote]

It is very obvious to me ( Gen x)  Women are expected to earn and make a good living AND also be the perfect homemaker/wife/mom.  Until men step up women are smart not to fall into the trap.  [/quote]
+1 another Genx woman.

I tell my teen DD to make sure to marry a man who is willing to step up at home because women cannot have it all, and to even achieve something, they need support at home.

I have two kids, but when I was younger, if I had to choose between having kids and having a career, I would choose career because I was never into having kids, though I adore the kids I do have.

Maybe if the people in power start paying attention to the declining birth rates in the next 20 years they will provide more maternity leave, provide more tax credits for kids and childcare, and provide more funding.[/quote]

Why do that when you can just outlaw birth control and abortion?[/quote]

The fascist is leading in the polls for 2024. There’s a real chance of women losing many of the rights they’ve gained since 1920.

Communist China just told women to start having more kids. I kid you not.

For those of us that traveled and had fun, I say good for you. But don’t assume your daughter will get the same choices. [/quote]
