So breeding ad infinitum is "life?" Logic says eventually that has to stop, or each human on that relatively small island will have about 6 square feet of living space to themselves. Population growth = economic growth is an eventual failed policy.

Maybe they have enough people already and need to reach an optimal level before having a chance to stabilize their economy? Just as long as they're not letting in droves of third worlders that breed like rabbits and live off of the welfare state.

Population implosion is the ultimated failed policy.

It not just the number of people but age distribution of the population.

The Japanese are known for changing policy radically on a dime once society can see current policy is a failure.

It will take some very illiberal policies to reverse Japan’s fertility rate.

Population growth = economic growth is an eventual failed policy.

Really? History says the opposite is true. There can be no sustained economic growth without population growth, and population growth in free market democracies during peacetime has always resulted in economic growth in the long-term. There is nothing more valuable than people.
