So far the best possible situation is playing out: people are voluntarily choosing not to have kids (or not to have as many kids), as they respond to economic incentives. Kids are expensive and a huge time suck, and with the continued development of very fulfilling hobbies and pastimes for urban professionals without kids, many people are independently making the conclusion that it's not worth it. I don't have very high hopes for us getting out of this demographic crunch without a world war, but so far Millenials are not letting us down, though they aren't exactly happy about it. Let's hope that we can remain on the "mildly disgruntled" side rather than the "shooting war".
