If you scroll to the bottom of the article, they post their sources, including studies published in peer reviewed journals. I'm sure most of us see this headline and go, "Duh," but here we have hard data. Every time our billionaire and political overlords wring their hands about birthrates, the collective response from all of us should be, "fuck you, pay me, or kick rocks."

Where is the new study? They have sources at the bottom but which one is the actual study they talk about?

CTRL+F for "Study" only has the word in the title and in three links in the sources, all of which are from several years ago. I realise it's medium.com, which usually sucks, not real journalism, but how can you make a write-up about a purported new study without mentioning or linking to it once in the article...

All of the source links have

at the end, pretty sure the article itself is just a LLM bullshitting, especially with how vague it is and never directly cites anything.
