    Leaving aside the anti-rational "late capitalism" tic, this is a good thread on the economic & economic-culture barriers to marriage among young adults todayhttps://twitter.com/ChristineEmba/status/1196465199315931143 …

    Trying to date/marry under late capitalism is an enormous part of the problem. Consider the calculations that we make (or are made for us) there! https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1196457586192797704 …

        Worse, the economic obstacles are by no means the only ones. Our culture throws up a formidable array of obstacles to a couple finding & committing to each other to marry.

        One of the things we've lost, even compared to when I was a twentysomething, is the common expectation of *where* and *when* we're supposed to meet our spouses. Once you're out in the full-time working world, you spend most of your time with co-workers, who are dangerous to date.

        That's a lot of words to say: women don't want to marry poor guys and have found it easier to sleep around in the interim.

        Given that people in the recent past married earlier and had more kids in the face of less economic security -- and given the decreased childbearing is nearly-universal in advanced, developed countries -- I'm apt to credit cultural factors far, far more than economic.

        If it's universal in developed countries--which have different cultures from each other--and people with less economic security got married earlier & had more kids, that points towards development and economic security as the causes of later marriage/fewer kids, not the opposite.
