People have been predicting this for centuries. It hasn't gotten any more correct.
We know what happen when countries modernize--they invariably fall below replacement rate. So, the "solution" is to modernize the places that immigrants flee from.
The real issue "modern" societies are starting to have is that everything is based on a pyramid scheme (more young people than old people) that is beginning to unravel everywhere. That is something nobody is ready for.

That is something nobody is ready for. Keep an eye out on South Korea to see what happens when the pyramid scheme unravels. Our birthrate has fallen to 0.75 and we are in for a huge shock in 10 years. Yet our politicians are just fighting each other :))
