From what I've seen there is some truth to it.

I would say 75% of the 20-30ish aged guys I have had work for me did not have kids.

Good, maybe I'll try in place of the Texas condom catheter on those long road trips guzzling beer.

We were visiting with a large baby food producer a couple of months back.  They mentioned that they have baby food plants slowing down, reducing lines and even laying off.  So, yeah, the baby bust is here.

No one in the developed world but the most absurdly wealthy and the utterly poor can afford to have kids anymore. Those absurdly wealthy ones seem to have a lot of kids. Usually while hypocritically preaching a message of a population bomb leading to Malthusian doom.

And if something isn't cost effective it must be cut out of your life like a cancerous tumor. Even if it's the thing you want most in the world.

Even with all these immigrants streaming in it feels like the world is emptying out. I don't even want to know what it's like in a country like Japan.

Years ago I ran a company that made big fans.  We got a rep that focused on textile mills and diaper makers.

He surprised us even back then with the fact that adult diapers were a bigger market than kids diapers.

WEF folks have this all figured out once they have formed their globalist government.
No more reliance on families
Population control and breeding will be under a government agency
Transhumanism genetic selection and purpose built humanity

Aborting, child-hating, man-hating, family-hating women are the root cause.  

Too bad there isn't a 3rd gender that's female, but completely the opposite of modern women.

The leftist goal is your extermination.  It would make holodomor look like a church picnic.

There was a study that was on the news recently that the world’s population will start to significantly shrink starting in coming decades.i wish I could find it. It’s actually not from the tinfoil types either.

Most of my guys in their 20s don’t have kids and aren’t married. I have a pile of kids to make up for it.

Ive seen ranges from 2050 to 2080

It’s not happening in a time span that most of Baby Boomers or Gen X will live to see, millennials in their senior years might see it but Gen Z should see it when they’re in their 50s for the USA unless Democrats can keep millions flooding the border for the next decade and our economy is good for that decade

But overseas I think places like China and South Korea, Singapore, Europe should see more impact in the 2030s

The majority of millennials/x/z don't have the maturity nor the sense of responsibility to raise children as most are still children themselves.

Should we each buy a case of large for Pedo Pedro?  Have them sent to him in DC and he can share with Congress.

Most younger people can't afford to live on their own let alone afford to have kids. I work with a bunch of 20-30 year olds that make at least $80k and up and they're all in apartments because the housing market is too expensive for them where we're at. They're all holding off until they can afford a house before they have kids.

It’s a globalPhenomena so I wouldn’t blame them and even the higher population cohort baby boomers didn’t have as many kids as their parents did so it’s not like previous generations were cranking out Africa level births.

It’s just generally speaking millennials are postponing a lot of stuff - first home purchase, marriage, first birth and biologically it’s more challenging to postpone multiple children

Single girls hitting the wall at 30 will start getting IVF and that will be the new baby craze.

Plus the diaper companies can back a candidate that pushes for some type of mandatory laxative be put into our food, that would boost sales for all ages.
