TBF, in most developed countries women stopped having a lot of babies immediately after the contraceptive pill was introduced. Even if times weren't like ... this, most countries would probably still have birth rates below replacement level.
But it sure is something how all these politicians are demanding higher birthrates without offering much to actually help with it, in many cases actively working to make it even harder.
Humans realized we’re in captivity and stopped breeding.
Why didn't they stop earlier, when circumstances were worse in every way, like in the 19th century? Living conditions for industrial workers and their families were absolutely appalling, even compared to the farm work they had before.
My answer is that before the contraceptive pill, they literally couldn't.
