    I thought your point is gen z’s old enough now to have stats on if they’ll have kids or not. I’m saying we’ll have to wait until they’re several years older to get an idea on if they’re never having them or just pushing it off

    Also, the oldest, borderline gen zers will have very similar numbers to the youngest millennials. you’d wanna get a scope of middle gen z and the average zoomer is still like 19/20

      The point of the initial poster was that how can you know what the trend for having children at whatever age is already for Gen Z if they just reached the average age to have children? But they’re already trending older than the average of past generations. You don’t really need to wait another 5 or 10 years, the trend is already there and the causes for that trend don’t look to be going away anytime soon.
