Israel's population growth is disproportionately drive by the Haredi/ultra-orthodox Jewish communities where their women seek employment quite alright, but often stick to sedentary occupations that give them more time for the home. The parent comment might have been somewhat aggressive, but the West needs t figure this out: once women enter the workforce en masse, birth rates tend to slide down from there. And with the welfare state most Western democracies have built, there's a continuous need for warm bodies to pay taxes and fuel the state's long-term obligations (social security, medicare, etc.). With the way the stance around immigration is changing, importing immigrants won't work as a strategy for very long.
