#3>Our results point to one possible answer. The fertility drop is concentrated among young populations and largely operates through declines in unintended births (Buckles et al., 2025), suggesting the operative margin may be less about the cost
of raising a child and more about whether the relationships and sexual activity that produce children are forming at all.
So the current rate is closer to true ‘planned’ rate.
