This is deeply myopic. The problem is not low birth rates, but uneven demographics.

At this point i just need to point out that earlier centuries had a very uneven demographic as well. In 1850, people typically had 6 kids on average, which means you had a lot of people too young to work and therefore not part of the workforce. Yet society thrived.

They did handle that by ... Forcing kids to work. (Harshest example would be chimney sweepers)

Not like we don't do that now, forcing some kid to make our clothes so we cam buy it cheaper then f****** food.

Point is, "too young" population is not the issue.

people too young to work

I think it's possible that you might confused how young that meant in 1850.
