The global demographic transition is one of a short list of phenomena which genuinely give me hope that the ecological problems humanity faces might not be intractable; it's a great example of people choosing to do the sensible thing with no need for coordination or coercion. It's weird to watch someone worry about this positive trend, approaching it as a serious problem to be analyzed and solved! - but I suppose that is an experience a non-conservative person often has, while watching conservative/traditionalist mindsets in action.
