After a century of telling people work, career, consumption and wealth are the most important thing in their life, business leaders are now shocked people will prioritize work, career, consumption and wealth over having many children.

Furthermore, after cutting programs for making child care, health care and education affordable, politicians are wondering why people don't bring as much children into the world that need a lot of health care, child care and education.
