You’ve completely changed your comment so now my first reply doesn’t make sense.
That drop coincides with what? Women going to work, which is a form of women right. Do you want to prevent women from working?
You can also see it reached a floor then started dropping again when women acquired more rights even before life started becoming unaffordable (as can be seen in my Canadian graphics as well).
Also, look at birthrate in Scandinavian countries where wealth is much better distributed and social programs are plentiful. Hell, in Canada itself the province of Quebec has the best social programs for parents and birthrate is one of the lowest.
People are oversimplifying the question because they’re mad at the current economic situation and they like to pretend that it’s the only reason they don’t want a family, but if we look at the whole portrait it’s clear that the question is much more complex than that.
Again, that ignores the fact that rich people (who don’t have to work) have less kids and that’s been the case for ages, it just so happens that rich women have access to education and contraceptives and that’s been the case for over a hundred years.
That’s GDP of the country, and is not related to the number of children born to parents who don’t have to work. It states that rich countries have a lower birth rate.

Yep, sorry! I did change the comment.
Why did women go to work, was it so they could buy more things, to support their family … I don’t know.
Perhaps it offered a better life then living off the land.
Women would have worked in the home before having the ‘right’ to work in a factory…

You’d have to provide some data about not having to work and birthrates. According to table 2, by far the largest proportion of births is to those who are unclassified. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/articles/anoteonchildbearingbysocioeconomicstatusandcountryofbirthofmother/2016#births-by-socio-economic-status-and-age-of-mothers
However it doesn’t distinguish between being wealthy, on benefits or perhaps being a student!
This paper suggests that a fall in birth rate amongst wealthier people coincides with the industrial revolution. https://www.jstor.org/stable/44289704?seq=1

It’s a very well known and studied phenomenon.

Do you think multimillionaires have to work and that people who make under 25k don’t?

This chart does backup your statement that low income families have the highest birthrate.
It does not show whether people have to work, which is the point I was disputing (that rich people who don’t have to work have fewer children)
Looking at the ONS data the percentage of women who’s employment status is ‘unclassified’ is, by far, the largest proportion of women giving birth
