Interesting study on the fertility effect of permanent wage growth
TLDR:
Men's wage increase -> extra income gets channeled into more food for the table, bigger/safer car, ability to support more kids = more children.
Women's wage increase -> extra income funds personal consumption + raises the opportunity cost of time out for pregnancy+childcare = fewer children.
