There are a few areas to look at other than precarity and incentives.

National and global sustainability: That governments move towards evil and oligarchy, nowhere as dominant as South Korea, and US/CIA control, inescapable decline of society and democracy. Governments immune to "CIA democracy" still have liberal influences, and fear of future CIA successes. Global warming, and hegemony of oil oligarchy protecting their profits, and certainty of controlling power, makes doom the rational expectation for children. Technology may produce future employment fears.

Feminist supremacy: Higher education being biased to women, and favoritism in earlier education, despite underrepresentation in higher IQ levels, opposes the higher sexual value of women that lets them date up. Institutional/judicial bias to protect women for sexual grievances, empowers their toxicity. Supremacy for privileges while protection traditional alimony/child support systems, and strong independence to leave/profit from divorce, makes men irrational to engage in family aspirations.

Pornography and internet: Men/people have easier access to orgasms. Internet cultural discussions that seem to be feminism vs incels distracts from reality that when you go out, women are much sluttier and aggressive/seductive than they once were. Mostly because fewer men bother. But cultural narratives on the internet encourage divisiveness and disengagement.

very high fertility: ultra-Orthodox Jews and some Anabaptist sects.

Jews in general are a very loyal in group that celebrates Jewish weddings more supportively that other groups. There is a supremacist dominance overlap in Judaism more than other creeds, where children are an asset. They may feel more job security for in group loyalty of hiring.

Ammish/Menonites need child/manual labour. The historical motivation for children.

Liberalism and humanism simply don't have loyalty to indoctrination into the evil militancy of other groups. Corrupting democracies for 51% support of evil is divisive to national unity.
