“falling birth rates = bad” is often said with a hint of "great replacement theory" hidden away in the person saying it.
On the other side of that is nations like south korea where it is actually really bad. South Korea has terminal case of low birth rate. By 2045 there will be 60 people over 65 for every 100 working age people. The death to birth ratio is projected to be like 3:1. This is baked in at this point, it is too late to do anything. They could import a bunch of workers but they need like 2% of the population every year over the next 20 years to avoid demographic collapse. They couldn't assimilate them fast enough to avoid a "Ship of Theseisnt" situation.
Where things go after 2045 is anyone's guess but my guess is Korea will probably be reunified because capitalism isn't sexy enough.
