Very true. My family is fairly affluent and I have little doubt that I'll be financially stable, but I cannot imagine having children with the climate crisis on the horizon. I am already worried about it affecting me, I couldn't bear having to worry about my children's future.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that birth rate tracks with hope for the future. So, not surprising that it's on the decline.
You know what happens when people have no hope for the future?
they start revolutions. so there's a silver lining to this
Idk how we could measure hope for the future, but if we could I'd 100% expect births to follow along with it.
It's when you ask people questions like, how hopeful are you about the future?
Lol I mean yeah. Idk I feel like it's more complicated than that but I guess maybe it isn't
I mean, you ask lots of people and do statistics and ask other questions too, but yeah that's pretty much it.
