If we reached 1 billion people on earth not that long ago, why people didn't make as much kids as now ?

Sorry, your question confused me. Do you mean to say that people made less children historically and why they make more now, or the other way around?

I mean why people are making more kids now.

It depends where you're talking about. In areas with HDI scores, typically areas with higher female employment and autonomy, people are having less children. In areas with low development, populations will grow at an exponential rate as children continue have children of their own at a rate higher than replacement.

But with how hypersexualized things have gotten in the last few decades, wouldn't it make sense that people would be way more eager to have kids?
