two-income households required for a semblance of a decent life
flexible work force (no steady jobs)
work-life balance skewed
children are too expensive (preventing multiple children)
cost of living keeps soaring
housing unaffordable
It gets even funnier when you factor in the cost of immigration, which is a net negative and not a positive. The only real contribution (legal) immigrants make is to individual corporations. All the real costs (multi-generational if they stick around) are assumed by the tax payer.
These points (except maybe work-life balance) all come back to the intentional failures of fractional reserve banking and inflation, which siphons future wealth and forces debt on the population. There isn't enough capital for the average person to fulfill their biological urges because of low purchasing power and high-costs, so they can't have progeny.
Governments are told to solve the problem by just replacing the native population.
I'd add in subversive elements brainwashing children (such as the climate catastrophe doomsday cult) and both legal changes and propaganda in support of no-fault divorce and no-fault abortion.
It's always the same issues:

Those are contributing factors as well. The doomsday cult demoralizing people. And don't forget the individualistic anomie in liberal societies.
