The population decline is not dramatic enough for that.

• carlosjobim 3y ago
  The population decline is massive in many regions and also compounded by decades of the trend. You also have to account for that the decline in young people is larger than the total population decline, since old people live longer. So if in the past a normal year would have a 20% population increase from births and 15% decline from deaths, totalling a 5% increase, today you'll maybe have a 10% increase from births and 10% decline from deaths, which looks like a standstill, but is actually a -50% decline.
