Pretty sure this is global.
And even if you do want kids, there are requirements that have to be met.
Stable income, high enough income, a home thats big enough… People can’t have kids if half their income instantly disappears into the wallet of their landlord every month and get reamed with the other half at places like grocery stores.
They like to say these things that don’t actually make any sense.
It’s the same with the crying around Europe’s mandatory USB-C connector. “Oh it stifles progress” Apple protested.
Forgetting they had the same unchanged connector, and in fact data protocol on their devices for twelve years before Europe decided they wanted a standard, with all the freedom to improve it.
A standard, apple already adopted for everything not iPhone no less.
