Birth Rate Solution

I suspect there is no birthrate solution unless tech changes. To sustain their welfare states, rich countries will continue to import labor from countries. Eventually people will get used to it and capital will have to find a different way to divide voters against each other.
 
One of the issues with falling birth rates is the way Society is structured today. Where is the support for families with children in the shape of good quality affordable child care? Food, clothes, healthcare? Never mind about education.
 
There aren't enough men left over there to go around. :)
There is a larger number of people there who claim partial or full descent from Ukrainians who settled last century. They could marry into the local population if American men were brave enough to take on a Ukrainian woman. A feisty lot they are.
 
Or will you go the way of China?

. . . China's population, reported to be 1.41 billion, will drop to 330 million by the end of the century, predicts Yi Fuxian of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This startling conclusion is included in a paper to be published in the Winter 2024 issue of the Contemporary China Review. He's not the only one concerned. "China has embarked on a road of demographic no-return," writes Wang Feng of the University of California, Irvine. Yi puts it this way: "Left unaddressed, China's demographic trap could precipitate a civilizational collapse." . . .

That's a far cry from the 4 billion they were suggesting. :)

Yes, and a similar fate awaits the USA if Trump as Trump kills the economy and cuts off the outside world with tariffs and ICE goons.

I'd say our population count is far more accurate than China's. AI is more likely to destroy civilization than one man. :)
 
There are plenty of prosperous nations with low population density. It’s not a “problem” that needs to be solved.

Australia, Iceland, Canada, Norway, Finland, New Zealand. Even the US has a relatively low population density.

Government can help by allowing more construction of new homes (lower prices) and giving US citizens more benefits for having babies. Oh, and getting rid of illegals and anchor babies who cause our insurance, tax and hospital bills to be so high because they do not pay.
Always about immigrants and "illegals" with you, isn't it.
