@ChrisMayLA6 family.
So take all of the above as a whole, for a generation or so at least, we'll have declining birthrates in many countries.
My belief is that eventually this right itself, when people who actually enjoy having babies and forming families transfer those values to the next generation, and they will then start to grow at the expense of thos not sharing those values.

In response to this post@h4890
the 'eventually' in your last conclusion is interesting; once it misses a generation how do those values revive I wonder... as to the left hating families; this may be true of some, but there's a lot of guild type socialism that seems to me to be built on the extended family unit; and certainly when you looks at the left anarchists & 'self sufficiency' again the family unit seems to be central.... but certainly there are some forms of collectivism that would downplay the family....
@ChrisMayLA6 Well, I think the values will perhaps not be eradicated, but if you have a group with above average fertility, with values promoting family and children, over time, they tend to dominate. Look at religions.
Do you have any links to left pro-family groups? This is an interesting sub-group of the left that I would like to know more about. I have never heard about it.
Based on personal experience, people on the left who do appreciate families are people on the "pragmatic" left.
