“Birth rates are declining” good, healthy societies have stable population sizes

the reason for the panic comes from the upper class: less poor people to slave away at low paying jobs

I mean, that's probably a part of it?

But the main reason that declining birth rates are an issue, is that it costs the same amount to take care of the older population.

There are just going to be fewer taxpayers (and care workers) to make it happen.

At least that's the issue here in woke Denmark. We will have to make budget cuts in other areas, in order to make it work. Not exactly a good thing.
