This is deeply myopic. The problem is not low birth rates, but uneven demographics.
How does, let's say, marxism leninism deal with the problem of uneven demographic distribution? I've never heard of any even theoretical fixes from them for that.
https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/CHN/china/birth-rate -- do you think China doesn't view this as a problem?
At this point i just need to point out that earlier centuries had a very uneven demographic as well. In 1850, people typically had 6 kids on average, which means you had a lot of people too young to work and therefore not part of the workforce. Yet society thrived.
They did handle that by ... Forcing kids to work. (Harshest example would be chimney sweepers)
Not like we don't do that now, forcing some kid to make our clothes so we cam buy it cheaper then f****** food.
Point is, "too young" population is not the issue.
