Rather, what you have a fornicating society (which itself is wrong and bad), taught that pleasure need not results in its main intent (which include rampant $TIs), with overall spoiled, oversensitive kids (since most 1 or 2 children parents wait to have children until they can do so without the sacrifice generations prior to about 1960 faced, and have only 1 sibling and few relatives to learn how to get along, play with, share, etc. ) and lack discipline (since with one 1 or 2 kids, they are given more freedom) and initiative.
It is character and culture that matters.
I have lived and still do, in a "low-income, mainly Latino city of approx. 45,000 in 2 sq. miles in which most work (plenty of parking till night), yet the kids are overall certainly not poor as were were as a family of 7 beginning in the 50's. But the do have lots of relatives, with many frequent gatherings of such.
Meanwhile, despite the age old lament of overpopulation, (The early Christian writer Tertullian said (around AD 200, in De Anima): "We are burdensome to the world, the resources are scarcely adequate for us... Truly, pestilence and hunger and war and flood must be considered as a remedy for nations, like a pruning of the human race becoming excessive in numbers.")
People have worried about overpopulation on Earth for centuries,.. But a new study found that feeding 10 billion people on Earth is not only possible—but it could be done sustainably as well. - https://news.uchicago.edu/story/feeding-10-billion-people-earth-possible-and-sustainable-scientists-say
Lawrence Solomon says,
In fact, the planet could comfortably manage 29 billion of us. To doubt the Earth can manage a mere quadrupling of today’s human population requires both a failure of imagination and a failure of arithmetic.

Besides negative birth rate, spoiled, over sensitive children are one more of the effects of contraception.
Nothing you said negates anything I said. My simple point is its not necessarily bad if the population goes down. Its just assumed going up is good, amd if it doesnt its automatically bad.
Its not a terrible thing if the population goes down. It doesn’t always have to keep going up. The human race will not go extinct. In fact we know from Scripture, we don’t go extinct.
