Young men becoming increasingly conservative exasperates the issue. Women are opting out largely because of the traditional expectation that they do everything in a household.

This male/female divide is becoming huge in Korea, if I've heard correctly.

Note that in most places besides Korea, the male/female political divide is driven more by unmarried women becoming more liberal.

But is that a positive move to liberalism or a negative move away from conservatism? Is it cause or effect? The implication is that Liberalism is convincing women not to have children, but I believe that a large part of it is the other way around. Something else is convincing women not to have children, so they're embracing Liberalism because of that.

I’m not implying anything. I’m just talking about trends in affiliation over time. E.g.: https://www.americansurveycenter.org/significant-figures/the....

This is the kind of question that should be hounded all the way down.

But it will take forever and whole generations will live and die before it does, because no one wants to.

Most people will have an opinion on one side or the other, and none of them are interested in finding out that the other side is right.

So it will take a group of people who are neutral on the topic (or professional enough to act that way at work), yet interested enough to do the work, and respected enough for their results are taken seriously by anyone else. Eventually it will happen but it will no longer matter. The current factors and realities will have all changed by then and the problems of that day will be different. The problems of today will have run their course without benefit of ever actually knowing the anwer to this question.

How does a study about the US have anything to do with Japan or Korea?
