One of the main reasons for the lower birth rate in developed countries is the high cost of raising children.
Many families find that the expenses related to education, healthcare, and daily needs are very expensive, which discourages them from having more children.
This financial burden makes many couples hesitant to expand their families.
For example, in countries like Japan and South Korea, the average cost of raising a child until age 18 can reach over $200,000.
As a result, economic factors significantly influence couples' decisions to have fewer children, contributing to the declining birth rate.
