I see lots of people talking about how people aren't having enough children. Very few seem to understand the real reason. And very few of the ones that do are willing to be honest about it:
If you demonise women who prioritise children over careers and brainwash the rest into thinking that being a wage slave is superior to raising your own children, this is what you get.
The laudable of idea of ensuring women could work and be treated equally ended up with women being forced to work. When you double the supply of labour, you halve the price of labour and before you know it both parents must work to survive.
Add to that a never-ending housing boom which means young people cannot build a nest until they are almost past child-bearing age. And a culture of self-loathing about the society into which they're supposed to be bringing their children and before long you are where we are.
