For women, it was 91%. Today, only 16% of men and 25% of women under 30 have a spouse. This is not a social drift. It is a free fall. A collapse that says more about the cost of living than it does about the value of love. Young people are not refusing marriage. They are being priced out of it. Weddings that once cost a few thousand now routinely demand $20,000 to $30,000. Apartments that once required one paycheck now drain two. Rent, food, health care, child care. Everything has gone up except birth rates and optimism. The reality is brutal. A generation that was told to pursue college and careers finds itself saddled with debt, delayed adulthood, and declining fertility. They live with roommates. They date through screens. They scroll past family life because they cannot afford it. In Japan, 2024 marked a historic demographic low. More than twice as many people died as were born. A country that once dominated with industrial power is now collapsing under an aging population and a youth that no longer marries or reproduces. In Australia, the birth rate has hit record lows. And in the United States, the situation is not far behind. The U.S. birth rate just touched a 40-year low. This is not a cultural coincidence. It is a predictable consequence. When housing becomes unaffordable, when income is stagnant, when child care costs rival mortgages, people will postpone or forgo families altogether. The numbers do not lie. They scream.
