Factors such as the high cost of parenthood, job insecurity, expensive housing, concerns over the state of the world and the lack of a suitable partner stop people having the families they want, rather than any desire not to have children, the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), said.

And to immediately reply to my own post:
I really really don’t want to raise kids, and this century is pretty much the first one where that’s actually an option.
I have a great husband, a suitable house, a good job (and so does he). But since we don’t want to spend two decades raising children, we chose not to have them. Because that’s an option. We don’t need children as a labor force for subsistence farming, we don’t get kids as a result of recreational sex and we don’t need children to provide for us in old age.
So yeah, even people who are super privileged like us, might still not have kids, because we think having kids sucks.
