The boomers weren't really the generation that failed to have children. The main issue atm is that zoomers are generally the children of gen X and while gen X did produce children, gen X was also a small generation because their parents were born during Great Depression when birth rates were depressed. So even though gen X produced ~2 children on average, there simply weren't enough of them to produce the same echo boom the boomers did with the millennials. Millennials are the real toss-up at the moment. That generation had a systemic problem with youth unemployment that disrupted family formation and now the oldest of them are reaching the point of being too old to have children. However, the middle millennials and young millennials are still young enough to produce children and we've seen the birth rate tick up slightly over the last year as they finally have secure enough incomes to start making babies. This is only a modest gain though and it'll take decades for the children of millennials to be old enough to influence the labor market. tl;dr this stuff has roots so deep that the people who 'created' the problem are probably not even alive anymore.
