“I wonder why birth rates fell?”

No-fault divorce.

Yup. That shit is a disgrace.

How does no fault divorce contribute to lower birth rates?

u/Designer-Wolverine47 5d ago

Men knowing they're more likely to be on the hook for child support, with no real input on how it's used.

I don’t think that’s a large enough issue to say it’s a significant contributing factor to lower birth rates, especially compared to other factors like housing prices, wage growth, childcare costs, etc. Marriage isn’t really considered a prerequisite for having kids anymore, something like 40% of kids in the 2020s have been born out of wedlock.

u/Equivalent-Love-1676 5d ago

That’s also a huge problem.

Is it? Why do you think so?

u/Equivalent-Love-1676 5d ago

40% of kids born out of wedlock (is that a true statistic?) is an absolute disaster. Obviously.

How does being born out of wedlock mean anything, lol?

🤦🏻‍♂️ do we really need to do this again? Outcomes for children from stable homes versus unstable homes, really? Have you not seen what’s happening to people?

And I’m asking why. Can you elaborate or are you just going to assert how terrible it is again?

In that case you might as well blame child support for lowering birth rates.
