A reminder that “low birth rates bad” is false, at least by itself. It’s bad for capitalists (who need constant economic growth) and for welfare systems operating under capitalism. What’s bad is if there’s people who want a family but can’t afford it.
A declining population under socialism isn’t a problem so long as people are having as many or as little kids as they want.
Maybe I'm wrong but this seems a bit overly reductive? Capitalist or Socialist: if your workforce is aging out and there aren't people to replace their roles and automation hasn't got it handled yet that's probably still an issue you need to address....although I agree socialism is much much better equipped to do so on account of planned economy if nothing else.
