This issue is more complicated, in North America, even couples who happen to be well off also not having kids, wanting to spend their money on traveling and buying big toys.

It's like slow self genocide in westernized countries

It’s deeper than the freedom of traveling and buying “toys”. Kids and daycare are expensive. Most couples have kids after buying a house and many cant afford a house these days. A lot of social relationships dissolve, you cant job hop or move around as much. Not to mention being in a constant rat race for the best schools because US education is ass.

Parenting is not for everyone so I dont blame them for opting out. Some aspects need to change in society as a whole to make having children atrractive.

I was referring to couples who are well off and have the money still won't have the kids.


The issue is that the system is also not designed to sustain people if they cant replace themselves. All yhe services and options you enjoy whilenhavjbg money are operated by people. The quality and availability of these things will ho down due to lack of people to keep them running and lack of a tax base.

Then the country will bring in all the immigrants you complain about, including a billion Indians
