  1. Because back then, birth rates were above replacement and population was growing exponentially, without the technology to support a population as large as today's technology level would enable us to support. Today, we run into the opposite issue of having persistent below replacement birth rates and how in the future, there wouldn't be enough young people to pay off the pensions of retirees

  2.  @containedhurricane  East Asian countries make it almost impossible to immigrate there. They make it extremely hard to get their version of green card, and make it close to impossible to become a naturalized citizen without any familial connections to their country, meaning vast majority of the few foreigners living there have no viable option beyond being temporary worker or expat
