The declining birth rate in our society can be attributed to various factors, one of which is the loss of a family-centered culture. We yearn for the presence of extended family members, particularly grandparents, who can provide invaluable support and assistance in raising children. Unfortunately, the absence of such familial support has contributed to a decrease in the desire and ability to have children.
Another significant reason for the declining birth rate is the exorbitant cost associated with various aspects of life, particularly in areas where the construction of new housing is heavily suppressed. The high cost of housing, education, healthcare, and other essentials poses a significant financial burden on individuals and couples, making it difficult for them to consider expanding their families. As a result, many couples are forced to delay or forgo having children altogether.
The impact of these factors on our society cannot be underestimated. With fewer children being born, we face the potential challenges of an aging population and a shrinking workforce. The implications extend beyond individual families, affecting the overall economic and social fabric of our communities.
To address this issue, it is crucial to promote and foster a family-centered culture that values and supports the role of extended family members. Encouraging intergenerational connections and providing resources for grandparents to actively participate in childcare can help alleviate the burden on parents and increase the desire to have children.
Furthermore, it is imperative to address the housing crisis in areas where new construction is suppressed. By implementing policies that promote affordable housing options and incentivize the construction of new homes, we can alleviate the financial strain on individuals and couples, making it more feasible for them to start or expand their families.
While the exact cause of the declining birth rate is still unknown at the time of this reporting, it is clear that a combination of social and economic factors is at play. By recognizing and addressing these factors, we can work towards creating a society that supports and encourages the choice to have children. Our future depends on it..

The falling birth rate is a consequence of loss of family-centered culture, including extended family (we really wish we had living grandparents nearby to help out.) The high cost of everything in areas that heavily suppress new housing is another reason. 7/n
