Women Aren’t Having Kids Because Sh*t Is Expensive

Women Aren’t Having Kids Because Sh*t Is Expensive

This week, Sim breaks down why birth rates are falling across developed countries and why it matters, from aging populations to bigger pressure on government spending, productivity, and tax revenue, using Japan as a real world example. She pushes back on the podcast bro take that women are “to blame” and shares the data that most people still want kids, but financial stress, job insecurity, and housing costs are the biggest barriers. Sim wraps by explaining what actually helps, like making parenthood more affordable through housing, decent work, paid parental leave, and reproductive health services, so having kids feels like a real choice instead of a financial gamble.
