If you scroll to the bottom of the article, they post their sources, including studies published in peer reviewed journals. I’m sure most of us see this headline and go, “Duh,” but here we have hard data. Every time our billionaire and political overlords wring their hands about birthrates, the collective response from all of us should be, “fuck you, pay me, or kick rocks.”

    This is such an important finding if true. Does anyone have an idea about how reliable this is/ know of other news outlets reporting this as definitively?

    I see sources which corroborate the thesis here and I’m asking if there are other news or policy outlets which agree with this.

    Reason I think this is important is because falling birthrates are blamed on all kinds of reasons which are typical societal scapegoats. I’ve heard everything from immigrants, to women having jobs, to porn, and even videogames. I’d love it of we could focus on things that actually matter
