Maybe people aren’t having kids because on the whole the world doesn’t seem like a safe and healthy place. And more importantly humanity is failing to do the bare minimum to make it better. Why would you bring a child into that?

Having kids was part of your social status.

I think people now chase status in other ways that are less compatible with having kids.
