MILWAUKEE, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- U.S. men had fewer children before getting vasectomies following the 2008 financial crisis and recession, researchers in Wisconsin said.
Dr. Anand Shridharani of the Department of Urology at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee and colleagues said men who asked for vasectomy in the years 2005-08 had on average 3.1 children, but after the recession hit, men asking for a vasectomy had 2.3 children.
