The title does not mention sex. Poor people all over the world have more kids than we do in advanced economies. Decades of propaganda have convinced people that having a kid is dangerous, expensive, annoying, environmentally irresponsible, contributing to "overpopulation", and a task beneath the average woman. That influence was exerted without regard for societal stability and long-term viability. Now we are practically doomed to suffer from a shortage of young people as we beg them to have kids again. Even if you were right about the cause of the problem, it is still a problem and the title just states the problem. You don't have to diagnose the cause to know that a population crash is a problem. I've personally wanted to have kids for at least 15 years, but it seems like culturally I am on an island. It is very difficult to find a partner who is willing and able to have kids and also a good partner otherwise. I live in the US but I think all Western countries are basically like this now.
