From book on Christian antinatalism 'No baby no cry' by Martin Smith. Although author states that this book is for Christians only, his arguments are valid for anyone.
'...majority of "good" experiences are simply the fulfilment of needs. I find a meal satisfying because I am hungry. Recreation alleviates boredom, relationships stave off loneliness, rest placates exhaustion, shelter protects from the cold, and so on. When we procreate, we create a lifetime of further need - a living deficit. To maintain life, these needs must be met, when the needs are not met, the deficit manifests as negative emotional states, i.e. SUFFERING.
Not all the "needs" are related to survival, unemployment is not life endangering but can have a profoundly negative psychological effect'.
