What is causing the falling birth rates in developed nations? Some people blame it on women putting their careers before having a family, and that may very well be a part of it. Others blame it on the hook up culture that young people currently enjoy.
However, others blame laws that benefit women which cause men not to want to get married or have children. For example, take Floridas lifetime alimony law. Who in their right mind wants to pay their spouse alimony for the rest of their lives? Another factor is laws that were passed to benefit women are now being used against women. As women make more money than men, it is the woman who is having to pay alimony and sometimes child support.
Then there is the feminist movement which may seek to empower women, but at the same time drives men away.
So why is falling birth rates and issue? By the time someone starts working, spends 40 years contributing to Social Security, then retires, inflation has ate away just about everything the person contributed. We need young workers contributing into the system for programs to stay viable. Without a population that is above replacement rates, government programs will go bankrupt.
