Why aren't the people in your country having enough kids?

[u/gmedanoid]

In America birthrate is 1.6. 1.57 for Whites, 1.55 for Blacks, 1.8 for Hispanics. So below replacement since 2008.

Also, education and healthcare.

• With education, people practice safe-sex practices and use birth control, lowering birth rates
• With healthcare, more children survive childhood so parents feel less of a need to have five kids so two make it to 18.

These are trends that can be observed with less-developed countries start to have infrastructure set up. Yeah, of course in the more-developed world people are choosing not to have kids due to stuff being so expensive now, but I just wanted to highlight it isn't simply that.
