    A lot of pulling things out of thin air happening ITT :p The number one reason, and it has been for some time now, that people are choosing not to have children is because they just don't want to. They don't need them, they don't want them. We see the same thing with declining rates of marriage as the wealth of nations increases. The number of people who would have children/have more children if the economics became more favorable is a very small percentage, and simply would not ease the population decline strain to any meaningful degree.

    to wit:

    Yeah, it makes sense that as a population is educated, provided access to birth control, has more opportunities outside of the household, that birthrate would decrease. And it it also makes sense that population would further decrease once the education, birth control, etc are still there but economic realities make it unviable to raise children. 

    this here.

     

    add in that we're talking about a birth _rate_ women making the choice to merely delay having children alone can manifest itself into lower population for a country over a long enough period even if every woman is having the same number of children as a previous generation
