“A problem with no real easy solution.”
Daunting but not that difficult in my view. From the microperspective, it’s a problem that’s easily resolved: get married, have as many children as possible, and raise them responsibly.
From the macro perspective, I think it’s primarily a problem with tax policy; families with children are taxed at an unconscionable rate (especially in the U.S.) and are effectively punished for having children. In the long run, the problem is going to correct itself. We just might not like the solution. Ultimately, those who breed in spite of the tax ramifications of doing so will prevail.
The future belongs to the fertile.

Perhaps I'm wrong because I have no kids yet, but don't you pay less tax the more kids you have?
Nonsense. In fact, there is a social-engineering subsidy (child tax deduction) for it.
