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
Would love to see the scientific method applied to this or was a presupposed postion used and the data shoehorned to fit

I see.
I wonder if women between, say 25- 45 have remained closer to constant over the past century + while babies born to teenagers and girls 20-24 has continually fallen ?
When I see people mentioning third world countries still having high birth rates. I immediately think of the sky high teenage birth rates in those areas.

I guess developers must feel there isn't enough money in it or they aren't able to build such homes due to zoning/covenant restrictions.
Or people today are dumbasses and will go into huge debt to have it now. So that’s what they build.
Same with cars.
Today’s culture of have the best now is their own worst enemy.

Why are we talking about pre WWII fertility rates today?
Majority of posters don't read anything but the title.
So it's pretty interesting to see all the replies that have no context to the data being presented.
That being outside of the baby boomer generation outlier. Birth rates have been declining since 1880.

Yeah I think that's a lot of it.

I’d like to see the data of children that lived past 5 years old since 1880. I would imagine they had more kids 150 years ago because they kept dying.

Yeah the question is whether more people in world history are declining to have kids at all
(Yes)
(Yes)

How many people should live in Tennessee? 70 million? 1 billion?
Population should grow 1% a year. So P(x)=P(1.01)^x
x= years from now
P= today's population
You're welcome to do the math and figure out the answer yourself.
The obvious answer is 350!

It's variable and goes in cycles. Yet our politicians overreact and think we need massive immigration (Europe and Canada are the same).
