I don't think it's just that. Keynesianism monetary policy is actually partly to blame here. The kind of conservative societies that would make large families and traditional living possible also require an economic bedrock of saving money.
I dare you, I fucking double-dog dare you, to imagine a world where saving's accounts have a 10% yearly interest rate, and inflation is around 3% or less. I promise you the world we live in literally couldn't survive in such conditions. The base incentive structures of society would change because malinvestment from high inflation wouldn't be possible. High-quality goods could be produced profitably. Small, family owned, businesses could become major vehicles of socio-economic mobility. No one would ask for gibs, because the value of saving would far outweigh the value of asking/demanding. The base premise for "saving for retirement" would work wonders.
Japan is probably one of the most culturally based places you can think of, but it is Full Keynesianism economically, and it has been for a long time. Corporations have incredible influence, degeneracy is rampant, urban density is extreme, and stagnation is the way of the world. Even with a based culture, the economic policy that could actually assist such a culture simply doesn't exist, so there's no way to make a population boom happen.
Japan actually once tried creating 100 year mortgages. It didn't go so well, so now they are doing their standard 40 year mortgages, but hoping to expand into 50 and 70 year mortgages. The idea of owning property and starting your own business is a fiction; and so the basic incentive structure for men to build wealth & status; and for women to build families and communities; isn't there. These are Keynesian policies that are leading to cultural degradation by poisoning the monetary incentives.
Hungry, like most of Europe, is still economically Keynesian.
How bad is the feminism problem in Hungary? Declining fertility rates can usually be traced back to the cultural rot that feminism causes.
