I think people take the idea that birth rates will stay low for granted. It’s entirely reasonable as a hypothesis that people are simply responding to environmental pressures against having children, and that these pressures will subside as the population shrinks. Not factoring in technological change, I think we’re just responding to our planet’s comfortable carrying capacity without really realizing it. This makes me think we’ll eventually see birthrates stabilize as space and resources become less scarce to future generations.
