It has to be nuclear disaster of epic proportions amongst middle class european whites
Yep. Our culture no longer values families. It's too "bourgeois " or the economy has taken child rearing years away with financial responsibilities that make having a child difficult. I think the fall of religion has contributed to this decline and we've taken for granted what's actually resulting from this attack. I don't know how to explain it and no I don't think everyone should be super church everyday Christians or the like, but there's something to be said for the system of values based in religious doctrine, at the least the religions that have prevailed in our country.

A lot of it is economic and technological in nature.
The economy today is so much more intensely competitive than anything previous generations had to face. In the 19th century, you had stories like Abraham Lincoln becoming a self-educated lawyer being common. But somewhere along the line, society started demanding much more time investment for children.
It used to be nobody paid too much attention to what kids were doing. Then came the yuppies fighting over preschools and PTA conferences and safety helmets and daycare centers. None of that crap existed before.
The ancient world was based more on extended kin and clans, and frontier culture of America was based more on nuclear settler families. But that usually just meant making the kids go to Sunday school and the village schoolhouse, and that was about it. Now we have student loans being greater than auto loans in this country. It's incredible.
All of which is to say that it's hard to fault people for not wanting to have kids as much. The financial burden in work-years of having kids is greater than it has ever been before, by several multiples.
Some of this is due to anti-family-growth policies and women-in-the-workforce and contraceptives and an entitlement system that is designed to help the elderly at the expense of the young (which is part of what makes it necessary for women to work to afford decent housing). However, a lot of it is just due to the technological nature of the corporate work world today, and how much educational investment is required to be considered a successful adult.
In the history of the world, we've never been in a demographic situation like what we are facing right now. Historically speaking, nobody knows what it's like to have gradually decreasing population growth and aging demographics at the same time.

We are somewhere near the 3/4 border in the U.S., and that "population pyramid" on the bottom row keeps bulging upward. Only when that pyramid stabilizes will our entitlement system and family laws and practices start to look more rational and stable.
All of this necessarily affects our cultural sexual attitudes and adherence to religious traditions as well.
