Couples not having children.
What causes couples not to have children?
Well, beyond simply not wanting them: economic insecurity. A more equitable economic system would remove that barrier.
Population collapse is also occurring in communist countries. China additionally scuppered themselves by previously putting taxes on multi-child families to get ahead of overpopulation and in doing so accelerated the collapse of the working population ahead of that in capitalist countries.
You're not describing a country with a equitable economic system.
