As a people, we have grown spiritually fat, slothful, and, in many regions, apostate. When a people turn from Christ, they turn from life to death. They no longer value life. So having no children is a consequence of spiritual rebellion. This is broasly true and works itself out more granularly and in unique ways on individual levels.
I also recognize people have legitimate struggles (unable to find a spouse, married later in life, fertility issues, etc.). I'm not intending to hypercritically target every individual.

Pragmatically, we have used technology and law to sever sex from childbearing, sex from marriage, and marriage from covenant (prenups, no fault divorce, etc.).

Monetary debasement is certainly relevant but a secondary factor.
