First off, that graph is ages 22-35. I'm going to guess you don't fit into that demographic.
Second, millenials (and younger) have all sorts of sexuality issues for a variety of reasons, some if which are so complex it's impossible for us to cover here (the exponential growth of people identifying as 'non-binary' is one I'm not touching with a 10 foot pole).
I think one of the biggest issues has been ready access to any sort of pornography imaginable, which particularly damages male attitudes and approaches to sex and intimacy. It simultaneously decreases lots of guy's motivation to get laid, does horrible things to how good they are at it (from a woman's perspective), and their view of women generally can get generally messed up and distorted. Add in what I see as a broader sense of entitlement in some, and you get a surprisingly large number of young dudes genuinely ****** that porn stars aren't lined up to get dirty.
The good news is the girls don't seem to have suffered too badly. If this graph is in any way accurate, they're either seeing older guys or working with a smaller pool...

All I know is that one your wife discovers a new bike in the garage, you get instructed to **** yourself for a while.
I’ve learned an envelope with $1000 cash and a return airline ticket to NYC is always part of a new bike budget. Keeps me on the right side of those graphs.

I remember reading a study from Japan, I think, where basically young men just gave up trying to appease women. It read that women there were getting so demanding in what they wanted on first dates, that guys just basically said ‘the hell with this’ and stopped trying to date. Apparently it was a huge deal there.
But what do I know, been married for 8 years and met my wife before Tinder and all those things came out.

I was like; OK, come on over tonight. I'll order dinner from the place down the street while you do my laundry and clean my apartment.
And yet, shockingly, I'm married now ?

I think we will see further decline in marriages / families in the west over time.
Hence the need for more immigration.

Its a catch 22, closed loop
If society and governments keep making things unaffordable and expensive(via immigration etc), people will naturally not have kids, to artificially fix this problem, they bring in more immigrants, thereby exasperating the problem of unaffordability further(cost of living, wages, labor market etc are all affected by immigration)
So people have even fewer kids, so the government once again wants to bring in more immigrants, and on and on it goes.
The logic is they want to avoid austerity and cuts to services(willing to bet the biggest burdens on tax base is....healthcare, probably followed
by pensions)
Immigrants bring children, lots of cash, and future tax payers.
so in effect, they want to keep the elderly nice and cosy, but at the cost of young people.
TLDR the government is ******* over the young people repeatedly
There are of course other factors at play here(for instance some people just dont want kids for various reasons, banks and lending, fiscal policy etc, so I wont bash immigrants or the boomers too much), but GTAM is not the place to make nuanced arguments on the finer points of microeconomics, I also haven't had my coffee yet.

Except that those older people have paid into the health care and pensions all their lives, they've earned what they're receiving. The young people haven't earned **** yet.

This problem can be helped massively by ending the policy of mostly requiring a whack of cash to immigrate, and instead select based on need. It's what we did incredibly successfully for most of the 20th century, but got put aside when the Chretien Liberals saw an opportunity to help balance the books by changing the rules to require minimum investment.
If you're letting truly poor folks in, they're doing the lower paid jobs that many multiple-generation Canadians avoid, not buying houses on day one, and generally setting down roots in ways that are less common when cash is already in hand. It also has the moral benefit of actually offering opportunities to those who desperately need them.
The biggest population factor is one universal truth around the world where as prosperity rises, birth rates drop. There are lots of social and biological theories about why this is, but it definitely is. It's one of the core motivators for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation ambitions, to raise the quality of life in poor countries with massive overpopulation rather than simply try to stop people there having lots of babies through a negative approach. The irony being that idiots like anti-vaxxers use selective statements about these approaches to make them seem sinister rather than pragmatic and altruistic

Seems to me that sites like Tinder make them only want the hottest men, who are always ready to accommodate them. The rest of the guys are just too fat, ugly and poor to be considered. Sort of an exacerbated Darwinism. Man, our birth rate is dropping like a stone among young people because of this.

I remember reading studies that def correlate prosperity and education with lower birth rates, but I think cost of living plays a big role as well
Do people have fewer kids because of prosperity or do fewer kids lead to prosperity?
Like the chicken and the egg conundrum all over again
They're receiving their own saved money with accrued interest is a better description.
And it's no coincidence the current government has been referring to the CPP as an "entitlement" for some time now.
I don't think immigrants are the problem.
I know to younger folks, it looks like you are competing against these newer entrants in the job market and the housing market, but the reason you have a job in the first place is because of the increased economic growth that immigration provides.
With Zero Population Growth, there just won't be enough consumer spending to keep businesses healthy and growing.
I am an immigrant and lord knows how many jobs I've supported and mouths I have fed just with the motorcycle and car purchases I've made over the years...
There are a raft of other reasons why housing is so expensive. Top of the list is foreign investment and the government's accommodating agenda that encourage it. People who have no vested interest in Canada, pumping up the real estate market like a casino, and then taking their winnings back to their own country without paying any significant taxes in the process.
If you're going to make money in Canada, at least spend it in Canada. Otherwise, GTFO.
