  1. I have a feeling that when it comes to modern country, quality of life improvements are encouraging couples to have fewer kids because they want to enjoy life more, and for many, kids can be a massive burden, and a costly one, I also feel that a lot of couples feel they don't have enough time to have kids, with the work-life balanced, which is ironic, because Europe in the EU does well when it comes to work-life balance, but I suspect with more time on their hands and more support by the system, probably more couples would have kids. As for some developing countries that have low population growth, it's probably because of emigration and because of the political and economic situation on many of those countries are not very favourable for wanting to have kids. If it wasn't for immigration, every modern country would have fertility problems, as it's likely that those immigrants that move to another country are more likely to have more kids than the natives bumping up the numbers, but take out the immigration and the more natural kids they have, the population decline in modern countries would likely be far worse. Depending on the country, population decline isn't that big of a deal, depending on how many people the country can support, the real problem is the imbalanced from old and young, but that's probably not going to be as much of a problem as some think thanks to A.I. and robotics. Either way, population growth couldn't keep going indefinite, since the second world war, we've had massive population growth that isn't sustainable in the long run, not unless we start living in space or on other planets, there are only so much resources on Earth, so there were needs for slowing the population down a lot, but now we are faced with an imbalanced that needs correcting, but let's not make any mistakes about it, almost every modern country, including the US and many developing ones are facing this problem. Personally, I'm more concerned with countries like the UK that its population is still growing but there's not enough land and resources to go around, that could make life quite uncomfortable for Brits unless there is major changes to accommodate it's population growth, but either way, it's likely going to make things more expensive, whereas other countries like France have far more room to grow.
