A demanding work culture could be quietly undermining efforts to raise birth rates – research from China shows that working more than 40 hours a week significantly reduces people’s desire to have children.

It’s good that there’s actual research being done to back this up but also like…no shit?
How does this study explain 19th century birthrates when people were working 14 hour days 6 days a week?
The impact of culture on economic behavior is really understated
I’ve been telling people this for years
Its not a money problem
Its a time problem
The fundamental issue is people changing time for money when they are, in fact, not 100% interchangeable, at least when it comes to kids.
Kids only become expensive when you dont have time.
