The article talks about this slightly, but very long term humanity will need a stable fertility rate and I have no idea how it will happen.
If the fertility rate keeps being below the replacement rate, at some point humanity will disappear. While short/medium term negative population growth might be a good thing, at some point we will need to do something.
