But if you're secure, but the world sucks, you say "why would I want to bring a child into this?"
Then the people around me must be oblivious af cause they're pretty secure, lifestyle wise. I'm not talking about farmers or daily wage workers. The people I'm referring to have stable jobs and monthly income.
Once you have a comfortable stable population of people who no longer worry about their future .... then they will be more likely to have a family.
Somehow India is an exception to this. People worry about the future and still have kids. Nearly every married couple I know has at least one child or planning for one.
