That is a logical but dystopian conclusion to make.
It disturbs me deeply and I wonder why.
Maybe it was your matter of fact, emotionless delivery of it that caught my attention.
I can't really dispute what you have said other than it is not an inevitability. Societies can choose to change this, Sweden being a current example, Finland too. But people need to organise and want it enough, maybe they don't. Time will tell.

I'm very glad about this; it means I must have gotten something right. :-) >I can't really dispute what you have said other than it is not an inevitability. Societies can choose to change this, Exactly, but that's the problem: societies can choose to change this, but will they? As a pessimist, I say no, other than a few very small countries like those you cite (and even there those are just attempts at change so far; the birthrates in those nations are extremely low). Humans are remarkably bad at seeing impending large problems and collectively working together to change things to avoid them.
