Unfortunately for all these countries, the only solution is immigration. We are already doing it. The American population of European origin has the same birth rates as the Europeans have. And increasingly, those countries are importing poeple from the less developed world.

I don’t know whether this is good or bad. If we have too many people (using too many resources, causing global warming, etc.) maybe its a good thing that people are having fewer children.
