Population is declining in about half of the world countries, see that table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_fertility_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_fer... Among them are very developed and rich countries: South Korea, Japan, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Australia.
In most of these countries, governments realized long ago that rapid population decline is bad for the economy. In some of them like Japan, governments started implementing various incentives decades ago. As you see from the numbers in that table, these incentives didn’t work.
