"Quasi"?
The only argument for increasing the population, given the so-called "demographic crisis" is becuase the modern economic system is a ponzi scheme.
The human population is massively over bloated, and straining every physical resource on the planet. But our universal system of make belive, in a word "finance", overrides physical reality and calls for an ever increasing population, to support ever growing uber wealth.
Just as a clarification: make believe can form very valuable models that are very useful in physical reality. But it is important to remember what is real and what is make believe. Physical resources can't endure ever increasing utilization, whereas a make belive resource, like ever increasing debt, with the right guard rails, can be sustained.
