What is the reason for married couples doing less children now ?

Actually I think people can't find enough time to hassle for children although the technological advancement. Hense now a days children products are so high in price that even a middle class family have to think for this twice. This is also a reason.

Yes you right. There is so many reasons as I think about it lol

money, taxes, stress, govt overregulation, govt overcontrol.
People got a taste of freedom, better knowledge.
Even if in the past people were poor they at least had a house. Having a house in western countries today = LUXURY, imagine that a trash house in West EU is around 200k, and you need to invest 100k more.

You cannot even build your own house because you will get overwhelmed with regulations, certifications, payments, taxes, waiting and etc... all this before you even started.

So raising a child in 40 m2 for which you pay over $1000 / month while babuins in govt make new regulations every day and can crash your business overnight, is not what id want

I think it depends on the couple's understanding ofcourse there will be financial things, mental peace, sacrifices, and much more. Every regions people mindest is different. So I say it's only understanding.

Financial burden as be the next part, what was here loosing interest in it

From a psychological perspective, couples today have fewer children not only because of financial costs, but also because they are more aware of the pressure and sacrifices involved in raising children
They want more time for themselves, their careers, personal lives, and a less stressful lifestyle. At the same time, they want to make sure that if they have children, they have enough resources and energy to raise them well
People may not want children any less, they simply think more carefully about the price of parenthood.

Because we're thankfully moving away from the traditional view of marriages that they have to have parenting attached. Many couples get married and are more than happy being childless.

Kids are expensive even my wallet gets stressed just thinking about them.

the economy, the tendency of uncertainty & responsibility avoidance

There is a theory that as countries get richer and more developed, people tend to have fewer children.
