Fertility changes over the last couple of centuries suggests that it can't be purely biological, right? We wouldn't be having like one fourth number of children as we had in our Great, Great, Great Grandparents generation if it were all biology. So there has to be a cultural piece of the story and maybe a much bigger cultural piece than would be intuitive. There might be some cultural pressure to have children but dramatically less.
Why have fertility rates dropped so dramatically? Do fathers or mothers get more happiness from parenting? And how does birth order affect a child’s future?
