This seems to be a problem in many countries.
The recent report from South Korea indicated that the average number of children is an incredibly low 0.78 children per woman in her reproductive lifetime.
Why does this happen? Why are these rates of childbirth so low?
Is it because so many women are far more interested in career than marriage and family?
Is it because birth control is so reliable and effective that most women choose to have far fewer children than previous generations had a choice to do?
Is it because many women are bypassing marriage and family all together?
Is it because so many women spend Peak fertility years in their twenties and into their 30s building a career, so that when they finally do have children, they end up having fewer children in their reproductive lifetime than they would have otherwise?
In Russia and other countries, are many women just so damn depressed about the future, that they can’t see bring a child into a world they think is doomed?
I'll take their side. It's a lot of work to get married and to raise children in a family.
So I can see why many women are saying no thanks.
