These demographic problems seem to be there arleady. Even without any further drops in the reproduction rate. At least in my country from central europe. I cannot provide any scientific discussion as a source - indeed I'd be happy if someone could share some source, but it seems pretty obvious to me. Generation baby boomer chose career over family and soon they need to be taken care of whilst they didn't produce many children themselves that could do so.
And partially related: they chose personal weahlth over a healthy planet. At least I feel betrayed, and I guess I am not the only one. So these demographic problems might be accompanied by a change of the younger generation priorities, when confronted with both, a huge old generation that they couldn't care for, even if they wanted to and even if there wouldn't be any further crisis, and a climate crisis caused by the same old generation that is now dependent on them.
