Definitely, but they seem to be facing the 'Iran problem.' [1] In the early 90s Iran's population was exploding, and so they started on a major 'family planning' commitment, which ultimately proved too successful. In the 80s they had a fertility rate upwards of 6. By 2000, they were below replacement. And it just kept falling.
So in 2012 they understood they'd really screwed up and tried to reverse it by starting an equally hard push back towards big families. In 2012 their fertility rate was 1.89, as of 2021 it's down to 1.69. [2] China's even worse off. In 2016 their fertility rate was 1.7. It's now down to 1.08. In general it seems much easier to reduce fertility than it is to raise it.
That the West is just ignoring this is crazy, especially because in the West fertility is strongly inversely proportional to income. So not only are we failing to even sustain our population, but generational poverty is spreading like a virus.
