Mother Nature does NOT like producing babies late in life. There is a lot of danger to mother and child. What people don’t realize is the man side of the equation is the cause for problems.
perhaps there’s a silver lining here...
Having kids later in life is not quite as fun! Ask me, I know from experience! Love all my kids to death, but I had a lot more energy 14 years ago than I have now!
Unfortunately this will add to the massive shift in the composition of the population...i.e. Europe, Japan.
Although there is a progressing pattern, we can be optimistic that things also run in cycles. Similar to how if your parents were strict, you will be lenient. Then your children will be more strict because you were so lenient and so forth. At some point, waiting later to have children will start heading back down until it once again is so early that it heads back up again.
And why are television ratings at an all time low? BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING MALES AND FEMALES PORTRAYED IN TOTALLY UNNATURAL WAYS (Females with penises and males who constantly cry like Boehner!!!)
I work with quite a few women in that age group.
They are all very intelligent, brainless twits.
And they give it away like Halloween candy.
This is certainly no surprise.
Takes good paying long term secure jobs, with good medical benefits to get married, have babies, get big time loans, mortgages, cars, all the medical insurance and everything which goes along with that old America life style stuff.
For the most part, this just isn’t’ happening for young America folks.

BTW, there are lots of illegals working here, sending much of their money back to Mexico, where they’re adding on room additions, swimming pools etc. It’s what happens when they get instant 200% raises when after crossing the border into greedy stupid USA land where it’s all about profits regardless of consequences.
My three oldest children (millenials) were married at 19, 21 and 23 respectively. Blessed with two grandchildren so far...so much for trends :)
There are various reasons for this, which others have mentioned. I would add another factor, which is the lack of social norms nowadays. There is no longer a social norm that people expect for marriage to be part of their lives. Young people today have grown up in broken homes, blended families, and frequently with a single mom who was never married to dad.
So these young people grow up, and don’t expect marriage to be part of their lives. People don’t equate marriage with having children. Records numbers have babies out of wedlock. In the black community, it’s so extreme that it is the social norm to have babies out of wedlock.
30% of millennial are also clueless fools....it’s better they don’t reproduce....
I wouldn’t be surprised if the willingness to get married and start families is connected to the degree of optimism in society. More people than ever are downcast about this country’s future and don’t want their potential kids to suffer the decline.
This is my peer group:
1. Go on a few dates, drink and dance.
2. Start intimate relations.
3. Declare undying love for each other on all social media outlets.
4. Fight and break up on all social media outlets.
5. Run into each other at a club. Hook up.
6. Get pregnant.
7. Fight, but then try to work it out for a few months (for the kid).
8. Break up while engaging in angry shout-fests on social media.
9. Boy moves on. Girl raises child alone.
I can't do that job, for that money.
I'm special, I'm important.
Marriage is really just a sham nowadays, and it’s been that way since before “gay marriage” came along.
When marriage can be dissolved by either party for no reason, with no repercussions, it isn’t a marriage. It’s just another social arrangement at that point, and that is the way it’s been since long before the millenials were even born.
Restore marriage to an actual institution with meaning, and people might be more interested in it.
Sounds like Italy.
As I told my son when he was a teenager.....It’s like conservation when your fishing.....CATCH AND RELEASE!”
They have no clue. They jump in bed like it’s shaking hands. They jump in bed with people their close friends have already jumped in bed with. They get into sexual relationships without defining the terms or goals, then complain when one of them cheats, wants to get married or doesn’t want to get married, gets pregnant or doesn’t want to get pregnant, has an abortion or won’t have an abortion, or talks smack about them on social media. They don’t or won’t meet each other’s families first, or include them in their lives after they’ve hopped in bed without any commitment. They won’t go to church to find a mate, but they will go to bars and dance clubs. They are a mess.
Muslims will produce your children!
