@evoskuil Interesting to suggest a national demographic institute is political and then providing data from https://t.co/Du8sbA62x0 in the same tweet. Anyway to your point - not all historically periods of wealth or increased wealth have correlated with dropping fertility rates. Why?
@evoskuil in any case in my opinion its more plausible as a part of the explanation of this phenomenon. certainly more plausible than 'people are dooming over the end of the world'
@evoskuil Lots of data here, but (Adjusted) 1980 data: 108-144$ per square foot, todays actual price is 150-300$ per square foot. How does that make people in the age category in 2024 richer (in relation to housing)? housing costs for young people are way higher % than they were in 1980
