1. Kids aren't always financially feasible — especially if you have student loans.
2. There's a strong fear of passing down mental health issues.
3. The population is already out of control.
4. Fertility issues can give a different perspective on the necessity of having kids.
5. Pregnancy can take a serious physical toll.

Agreed. Millennials are wanting everything for themselves. They are not willing to share a paycheck on offspring.

That's true, Drifter, but having kind of unintentionally become a mom, being one of those "not so programmed with maternal instincts," being a parent is unimaginably awesome in how it expands who you are as a human being. Totally surprising but totally true. I suppose it will happen to most Millennials, too.
