    Low birth rates do have a great impact in the pension schemes of countries…

      That problem can be mitigated with immigration. Immigrants pay taxes and are entitled to the use of fewer social services.

      People that are opposed to this might be concerned about “great replacement”.

      Of course, a country’s current occupants have the right to have a family of their own (though not everyone should exercise that right) and their children should be able to grow up healthy and happy. The country should not descend into the wealthy 1% that can afford children and a rotating underclass of immigrants. That’s basically Saudi Arabia.
