What do you make of the birth rates being much higher and stable among married couples, and of the birth rates among women in their 30s increasing? These don't really correspond to your take.

I think that perfectly aligns with their take.

People in their 30s, married, tend to have more stable lives. They are in a position where they feel they are able to give that child a good life.

Peak fertility though is early 20s. By the time people are in their 30s, having trouble getting pregnant is a more common problem.

That actually makes sense. I think I broadly agree with this. Maybe we can do 100 different little things to help people feel like they are "set up".

More and more women have the power to choose when they get pregnant every day.

This is the number one reason for the decrease in fertility. Unplanned pregnancies are becoming a thing of the past.
