Remember the opening to the movie Idiocracy, which put forth the thesis that average intelligence of humanity gets lower because people who are more intelligent tend to prioritize other goals over having offspring?

Well, I'm not saying anything about the trait of intelligence, per se, but you might be interested to know that in an NBC news poll last September of Americans from the age of 18-29, Trump-voting males prioritized "Having children" over all other life goals.

(Also interesting: Trump voters prioritized "Having children" over "Being married", whereas for Harris voters it was the other way around.

Before or after controlling for income? Remember that income is the single best predictor of human fertility, and this relationship holds well across time and cultures.

[southwest]

False. Income correlates negatively with fertility in many (especially mid-20th-century and developing-country) contexts, but it is neither the single best predictor nor a consistently strong one across all times and cultures. Education (particularly women's) and related socioeconomic/cultural factors often explain more variance and better capture the mechanisms driving fertility change.

[sobriquet9]

Education does not explain variance in fertility at the lower end of the range, but in this context even that does not matter. Income and education are highly correlated, so if one of those is correlated to the variable of interest then so is the other.

Я бы сказал, что всё верно, но у меня двое детей, поэтому скажу, что ничего не понял

Что для тебя важнее: дети или эмоциональная стабильность?

В любом случае, опрос был среди молодёжи, скорее всего ещё бездетной
