The declining birth rate is only a threat to the capitalist. Can't have ever increasing growth if there are fewer victims to fleece.

Declining birth rates are a challenge under socialists systems also if you have a population skew towards the elderly. If 60% of the population is retired and now heavily utilizing a universal healthcare system, how is that being paid for? Ideally some of their tax income would have been saved for their healthcare needs later in life but that rarely happens.

Its the very nature of constant growth that causes those imbalances.
