      Not something new, apparently.

      Happening for 40-50 years already.

      I do wonder why, most countries are having the same pattern.

    2. World will eventually be cleaner and more peaceful if these stats hold. It is bad for economic growth but we cannot have forever growth. Definition of growth will change.

      It’s half economic and half social- people can’t afford kids and are overworked, and at the same time women are freer to realise that traditional motherhood isn’t ideal. Patriarchy is still very strong in lots of these places, and 9-5 plus raising kids is just too much.
