Unfortunately, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and Muslims don’t have a “fertility” problem. White people need to get busy, lest we become extinct because of our own “lack of activity!”

60’s era feminism has achieved its desired end.
Women feel worthless without careers, and/or the institution of marriage has been so destabilized that they’re afraid not to have them.
All from the desks of ZPG planners.

Hispanic fertility rates are dropping the fastest though....

Happy to oblige, I’d like nothing better than to participate in the boom — when a good Christian comes along. Such men are getting scarce. And even then, sparks should fly.

Simple solution, outlaw abortion and increase the child tax deductions to the point that a middle class married couple with 3 or more kids pays no taxes so that the wife can afford to stay home.

Fastest way to fix this is to reverse the family court law which deems the father is as evil and disposable. Also to decrease the population of the Islam Nations you need to reverse Sharia law in which the women have no rights and institute a version of Western Law.
Western women today know they can ditch the father, take his wallet and alienate the children from him...where is the incentive to sire children in the western world?

Young Americans live in an atomized, materialist society, focusing on hyper-individuality, rights, and victimhood. Many are already in debt, thanks to our printed, fiat, manipulated monetary system, which engages in financial repression to fund government and our financial and business oligarchs.
We can say their behavior is rational, given the circumstances

And we should not only look at the Fertility Rates but the effect of ABORTION on our population:

On that first chart you can see that when the 2008 depression hit the birthrate went down like a rock and co tinier to do so under Obama-Mao.
As the economy improves and people have more money the birth rate will naturally go up.

I am the middle of 5 kids, and the father of 5. All over 20. No grandchildren yet, and none on the way. The kids just don’t seem interested

But it won't be enough for two BMW SUV's in the driveway of a five bedroom McMansion and annual overseas vacations. So little will change.

“But it won’t be enough for two BMW SUV’s in the driveway of a five bedroom McMansion and annual overseas vacations. So little will change.”
Don’t be so pessimistic, the only constant is change and the current dearth of children cannot last forever. Once the baby boom generation meets Jesus or, more likely the devil, things will get better. Supporting that generations retirement is sucking so much money from young people that they cannot afford kids.

>>But the return of prosperity after the 2016 election should have produced a quick uptick in births. That, after all, was the consistent pattern we had seen in the past.
Radical feminists don’t want Western breeders making babies.

Im in my mid-50s, never married, no kids, and retired. Im certainly not about to start a family now! I dont even
like kids, let alone (shudder) babies.
Not everyone should have children.
