Many wealthy countries become decadent and self-destruct.In the US birth rates have only gone down since about 1950. By design.Birth rates go up and birth rates go down. A declining birth rate is not a huge deal. More young couples are figuring out they don't want kids but instead want careers and to travel and have nice things. It's their choice and we should not encourage them otherwise.
Don’t you see the problem? Societies that fail to reproduce are invaded, submerged, oppressed by societies with healthy population growth.
Life is ups and downs. You get to the top, and you're already sowing the seeds of your demise.
Being rich reduces birth rates. Poorer countries will have more kids. Natural.
Yes, it's more PEOPLE than countries. I think people need to learn to be less selfish, it goes against our nature. Though the Germanic and Scandinavians seem to have found the best balance.
