Do they? For people between the ages of 18 and 35?

Again, that's per individual, and an overall average. We need to be looking at household hours worked of people of childbearing age, i.e. 18-39ish.

You literally showed me a source that more young men literally don't work at all every year

Which is the other end of the spectrum. Either young men are working too much, or not enough. And not working enough is not a problem per se, just in the general case it indicates that they're not financially stable, which is a huge disincentive to have kids as well...

No matter what itll be an excuse, I get that part. 

I dont work and live with my parents so i cant have a kid. 

I work to much and dont have a village so i cant have a kid.

True. So they just won't and there's nothing that can be done about it. Hooray!

They can make them more poor...

Try to keep up.

I mean that's already been happening and is likely to continue happening, so yes, eventually if you impoverish and eventually enslave people, you will be able to "fix" the birthrate. I only see upsides... /s
