Low birthrate isn't caused by high rent, but by a highly educated population and an economic system where kids aren't necessary to take care of you when you get old.

“and an economic system where kids aren't necessary to take care of you when you get old.”

Until you get terminal cancer and you are sent home to die. Then, I assure, a “kid” might be useful, because nobody else will give a flying fuck.

Says who? Meaningless statistics?

Talking to my circles of highly skilled couples most cite money as the primary reason they're putting off having children.

Most people I know who don't have children simply aren't interested in having children. And they can afford not to have children, so they don't.

Sounds like anecdotal evidence to me so I rather put my faith in the statistics.
