Previously it was a good idea to have lots of children, because they were useful as labor force for the family at countryside. Moreover, culturally speaking, it was a signal of fertility and masculinity for men to have many children. However, nowadays people are much more focused on themselves, caring little with everyone else, what includes potential children.

It's a phenomenon of our days where people are extremely egoistical and selfish. As consequence, there is little room for children...

You say people are egotistical and selfish to not have kids meanwhile at the start of your comment, you mention, having children was good idea so they could be used as working force — you realize how absurd that sounds?
