I think “money” falls short as an explanation (though it’s certainly part of it). Countries like Sweden have substantially better state support for parents that the standard and the Swedish population isn’t exactly poor in general, either, yet they aren’t really getting that many more children than poorer countries with less support for parents.

Also, civilsation is going to be brought to its knees by climate change in the coming decades.
Feels somewhat immoral to put someone you love through that.
