Last I read the fertility rate of Italy was 1.41 and dropping. Even Japan is using financial incentives to encourage Japanese couples to have children because their fertility rate is even lower at 1.34. Russia is at 1.49. America is right at replacement level which is 2.1.

True. And if you exclude immigrants and first-generation children of immigrants from the count, the US has been below replacement for the last 40 years.
