I do wonder if part of the decline in birthrates is due to a massive increase in the expected responsibility of parents. Back in the day parents basically just ensured their kids had food/shelter/stuff for school, but were otherwise unburdened.

Now its an expectation that parents are monitoring their kids 24/7 and driving them around to a range of activities all day.
