This is kind of whatever… partially a white people problem and partially just a result of later childbirth. White people are definitely having less kids, but that’s not true for everyone.
Also by their 40s, something like 85% of children have had at least one child. People are having kids. Most people who are younger than 30 are astounded to realize just how many women do have children.
When they polled people aged 18-30 in the 90s and 2010s, and 2020s, the amount of people who said they would never have children is lower than now, but not by much. People change their mind and a significant amount of people do have children, especially if you’re not white or Asian.
Regardless, people’s choice. Whenever I see articles like this, it always seems kinda “Great Replacement Theory” adjacent. In my head I always put (white) in the title. I.e., a smaller percentage of (white) baby boomers have grandchildren.
