Because the problems come years after the birthrate decline when a large portion of your population is retired and you don’t have enough young workers to fill the roles they typically fill
For one, those roles dont pay worth a damn anymore. Two, many roles are being automated.
This society we built is now too expensive for anyone but the top 10 to 20 percent to afford. All these old people are expecting youngsters to foot the bill, but the young cannot even afford to look after themselves let alone an entire generation of seniors. How the hell are they supposed to afford kids?

It’s going to be tough but it needs to happen eventually, plus now we have ai which should help alleviate some of that once it really gets going
You’ll also run out of young people who can just take care of the elderly.
This is a myth. Immigration guarantees that you’ll ALWAYS have workers to fill whatever roles you need filled.
I can’t tell if you are sarcastic or serious. Population growth is slowing globally so it’s not like there is an infinite supply of young people.
There doesn’t need to be an infinite supply… of any age group.
This is simply a course correction for what’s been an unsustainable pace of population growth worldwide in the last 100 years.
Oh man let’s tell that to the Koreans and see how they feel about that…
Hey, if they have a solution to a problem that they “don’t like”, too bad for them.
