In the United States there is a recession. This has had an
impact on many aspects of people’s lives. Normally people would get married in
mid to late 20s and spend a lot of money on a wedding. Then they would proceed
to find a house and other necessities with a loan. Eventually the couple would
have a kid. Now, however, people have begun to change. Couples have begun to
marry at a different age and married couples buy houses later. Also, couples
have begun to delay having kids because of the economy. Births have fallen to a
low number leading to “the smallest population gain since World War II.”
Derek Thompson, the writer of this article, is informing
people with this article. He begins by talking about how a couple usually
starts out then he contrasts it with how couples are doing things now. He talks
about the worsening economy and why people have held off having kids. However,
he does say that the lack of children being born can be a negative thing.
