"Notably, Chang's report claims that biological females develop earlier than males do, so requiring girls to enter school at younger ages will create classes in which the two sexes are of more equal maturity as they age. This, the author posits, makes it more likely that those classmates will be attracted to each other, and marry and have children further down the line."

"The report does not include evidence of any correlation between female students' early enrollment and the success rate of their romantic relationships with men. The author also does not detail specific mechanisms by which his proposed policy would increase romantic attraction or birthrates."

Downward trend

Replacement rate is 2.1, not 2

Nice for congressional representatives, did you take a look at their age? Average is 58 and 64 in the Senate, median is 58 and 65 respectively from what I'm finding. They're not people who are making the choice to have or not have kids right now.

maybe because regardless of money, some people don't want to have and raise kids in the shitshow this world has become over the last 30 yrs?

Look at long term trends, it's not a 30 years thing, 100 years ago Finland was getting close to being under minimum required to renew its population.

When women get rights, people get education and people have access to birth control, they stop having kids, the situation in the world at the moment only adds more reasons but even in a perfect world people wouldn't have enough kids to renew the population.
