Note that “NL Times” is not a serious news source but a content mill that reposts content from elsewhere and loads it with advertising (these days probably helped by AI).[0] Unless someone posts the original reportage on HN, it’s probably not worth discussing this link.

I swear HN is getting dumber by the day, and this comment is the perfect example. The article has a link, right in the first or second paragraph, to the Dutch news link that says exactly what is in the title:

https://www.rtl.nl/nieuws/economie/artikel/5587827/de-econom...

From the Dutch to English translation for the ones who need to brush up on their Dutch:

"...More than half (53 percent) of Dutch people aged 18 to 35 have no desire to have children, or do not yet know whether they want children. This is according to research by the RTL Nieuwspanel..."

Because they aggregate, resume and translate ( but dont change the content ) to English I can imagine that is why, you see here sometimes posts to them, instead of having the original link in Dutch.

If its currently 11°C (52 °F) in San Francisco, and I read that on the BBC, the New York Times, or Fox News...that does not change the fact the current temperature in San Francisco is 11°C (52 °F)...

I am going only by the title, but that is absolutely tragic.
18-35 is a broad range... Survey people in their 30s. That is when the decision really needs to be made, when the issue is forced.
