Inability to afford homes and essentials pushed birth rates to record lows
Posted on 8/15/26 at 10:33 am

With basically no job prospects and people unable to afford housing. People moved to high density living situations and permanently put off having families.
Almost 1 in 3 women did not give birth through age 34 due to poor economic factors.
EDIT to help people
Obviously I am referring the era right after the great depression. Clearly the US has been in this situation prior to modern times where birth rates were in free fall

1 variable for sure. Along with social media. No Child Left Behind. Mental illness. Plastics. Vaccines. Spiritual abuse. Etc

Yeah, I totally remember how affordable homes were in 1880.
Def home prices that are causing this across the developed world and not something else…

The economy was in shambles, and was the primary driver of the declined birth rates. I dont think that can be argued

And most of the other 2 are on Medicaid/food stamps/EBT to start with so having kids never costs them anything

True but the powers that be whom started the WEF and European Union were around since WW2 pulling strings.

I think it’s a factor, but so is women being promiscuous through a lot of their 20s before settling down, regular college degrees not being worth much forcing grad school for many who desire a certain career, social media and dating changing.
A lot of the women with good jobs at my work just haven’t really even started trying until a few years into their 30s. Some get pregnant quickly, others don’t. I just think some struggle more than if the same group started trying to have kids 5 years earlier.

Only 1 in 4 women had jobs at the time. Majority of women did not work

Also these people (the ones who are educated and career oriented) are more apt to use birth control.
I don’t necessarily see this as a bad thing, being responsible and not having kids when you can’t afford it.

Can we see the abortion rates in contrast for the same group represented by this statistic? Maybe some demographics, like location and socioeconomic variables for each group?

Since nobody reads the chart, this was birth rates up until 1936.
It was not the norm for women to work

Abortion was illegal in the US in this time period

What does that have to do with women currently not having babies until their 30s at my work.
