to some extent. gen mz is not having children due to the economic climate in several countries. id argue one of the reasons you might see more late 30s is because some women worry about becoming less fertile, as after 30, you progressively have a harder time to give birth, and gets much worse as time passes on, so those who want children are pushed to do so sooner rather than later.
I think some Elder Millenials were lucky enough to get enough scraps to still pull off the house/kids thing, but anyone younger prob. has way worse odds.
Could be age thing? I'm in my late thirties and most of my friends have had their kids in the last five years.

That's about a good time to adopt a rando 5yo and find out which of your friends are racist or natalist.
