Car Seat Rules Cause Lower Birth Rates in USA

[RileyG]

Related question: why do we need a higher birth rate? How many are enough?

I don't know.

To replace those that are dying?

Many, many small towns are dying out. (I don't necessarily consider that a bad thing), while the cities continue to grow.

People just cannot afford large families anymore.

It is what it is.

Generally speaking, wealthy people have fewer children than poor people.

Very few Americans work in agriculture now, historically that was a big part of small town life. The US becoming a non-agricultural society is relatively recent. Prior to WWII, many Americans lived in small towns near farms. It wasn't until after the war that the vast majority of people moved into cities and suburbs.

Thanks for the info.
