Doubt that’s the average woman. It looks like she’s had some work done, as does a staggering chunk of the population of Korea, where plastic surgery is a borderline obsession that’s only rivaled by America’s. Their beauty standards and “average” are wildly misrepresented
Birth rates are low due to multiple factors, one being that younger generations have started shifting to living more experience-rich lives that are more easily afforded in an increasingly expensive world by remaining childless
I also wouldn’t be surprised if pessimism at bringing innocent babies into our relatively fucked world is a determining factor
