China isn’t too far off from its end either.
It’s one-child has been so successful that parents are interested in more than one children. In thirty years, China might fall under a billion people.

China now has an unlimited child policy because the 2 and the 3 child policies did not work.
No one wants a lot of kids because it is too expensive :
over half the population subsists on less than $1200 year ;
there is no social safety net of any sort ;
the last safe place to invest in China just collapsed with the Evergrande property scandal ;
extended and immediate family income depends on wages earned by its sons ;
families advertise on public park bulletin boards for husbands and wives for their kids ;
sons must own property to get married ;
daughters must have dowry commensurate with station of prospective husband ;
women over 30 and unmarried are “leftover women” and unmarriageable ;
marriages must be approved by both families.
A problem for Chinafrom their 1 child policy is it lead to a signficantly skewed male to female ratio. And that problem is going to be getting worse for the near future
