Another huge factor is the economy.
Even though housing costs have been ridiculous since the 2000s in many nations, people didn't understand that they were under huge inflation until COVID, when they saw fuel and food prices jump. This also made people wake up and realize that our salaries are barely enough to live alone on... Having a kid makes it horribly expensive!
It was pretty funny to see people complain about gas prices but not about the real estate market. I asked my coworker how far he commutes, 30 miles x2 per day in a 30mpg car. In a month he uses 43 gallons. Comparing price of 3 per gallon to the high of 6 per gallon, it went up 3 per gallon. 3x43= 129 dollars increase a month. These people complained about that, but not that mortgages and rents went up thousand+ a month since 00s?
Yeah, that's for sure. But inflation has been relatively mild in places like Scandinavia, where there are also significant social safety nets and all that. In the US, on the other hand, I'd expect the real economic decline to have made a significant impact on the birth rate.
Still, salaries have lost maybe 25% of their purchasing power over the last two decades in Sweden.

I am concerned. How are states gonna continue having meat-grinde wars if females dont keep pushing out replacements ? And how are we going to have massive unemployed people replaced by AI machines ? And with current consumers maxxed out on their credit cards how are we gonna keep the consumer economy going ?
If only there had been some unprecedented factor introduced to the population in 2020-2021, then we would have an obvious cause. Alas, the world was terribly normal during those years, nothing remarkable at all happened...
Ahh. The occupiers, so called 1.5 Percent Final Solution.... Judaism and alas they are fornicating and test tube creating the next wave of 155 IQ Oppenheimer Monsters.

Is The End Of The World As We Know It looming ?
Don't worry, this neat little trick will stave off fossil fuel decline JUST long enough to blast a colony ship towards Alpha Centauri
So, who needs contraception when you can just watch Joe Rogan?
Right? Someone should tell Planned Parenthood

Baffling bafflement...
