I agree to your comment that reasons for the population decline are many and hard to parse. It is just that we never had this issue before, with the rise of alternative actions where we can derive the meaning of life now seemingly trumping the conventional or literal one—having kids (enabling life on earth).....But yeah, it is a very real concern where the decline in population will drastically alter the capacity of us to continue the growth we had since the 1950s..
