Women's Employment and the Declining Birth Rate

In our world, for the vast majority of the population, a single salary, a single income, is no longer enough, as it once was. As a result, women too have to work and therefore study, make an effort and do everything that men do. How, then, can women be expected to accept devoting themselves to the role of homemaker and mother?

In the past, everything women did prepared them for this role; now, on the other hand, everything prepares them to do other things.

What happens, then, is what seems to me to be the most dangerous problem: the difficulty of reconciling work, career and motherhood.

Will the declining birth rate, then, cause our civilization to disappear within three or four generations?
