There's also going to be a metric shit ton of it from people who grow old alone and realize that they have literally nothing to live for because they have no family.
It infuriates me no end that entire generations were raised with the goal of being financially successful rather than with the goal of creating a family. What good is money when all you can spend it on is mindless hedonism?
Also consider that they were taught that financial success is contradictory to having a family.
The reality is that a family is an investment, and starting or building onto a family is the most profitable way to make money. It's actually the primary reason poor people have kids. Kids can actually make more money than they are worth. The issue is that all of the cultural, political, and economic systems are attempting to make the upfront investment costs of children exceptionally high from a material frame.
How would a family farm even run if kids couldn't work until they were 18?
