[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 77657892, member: 313046"] As expensive as it is to raise kids, that’s not really the main reason people wait. If cost were the main impediment, then affluent people would have more kids than poor people, but that’s not what happens. Anywhere. In virtually every country, regardless of the largesse of their welfare system, it’s the poor who have more kids. The primary reason people wait seems to be opportunity cost. When people, but especially women, have more education and greater career prospects, they put off having kids because child rearing is too much of a burden during the formative years of their career. Conversely, when people don’t have as much to lose by skipping work in their 20’s, they have more kids. [/QUOTE]
