Some discussion if you're unaware.
...conclude that “shifting priorities” about family, careers, and how to allocate one’s time and resources is the most likely explanation for the dramatic reduction in rates of childbearing seen among more recent cohorts of young adults. We have not found compelling data support for more readily observed (and potentially altered) policy or economic factors, like the price of childcare or rent.
So, is this a problem to you at all? If it is, then how would you address it? If it isn't, is this a problem that can be addressed along with addressing what you believe is the greater problem? How?
If we actually prioritize our children as a better foundation, more people will have them. Kids who are "left behind" due to poverty will get a better chance.
How do #3-6 address declining birth rates? I'm not saying they don't...but I can see how 1, 2, and 7 do.
People will want to have kids if the schools are properly funded and attended.
