    People in general always tend to have fewer kids during hard times, whatever they perceive as hard times. But some people clearly keep having them, because the human race still exists even though we’ve always had plagues, wars, famines, etc. They kept having kids through the Ice Age FFS. There’s no point saying people now “aren’t having kids” - of course they are, just not as much as before.
