The world is slowly becoming like Japan, in the matter that the birth rate will eventually be lower than the death rate and the population will stabilize if not drop. Japan is actively attempting to encourage its citizens to bear children because its population is actively decreasing because most things are pretty damn good and nobody wants children.
This was shown very concerningly in the Mouse Utopia experiments. It seems that if humans create a relatively stable society with pretty much everything catered to and no real purpose for the inhabitants it degenerates hard and fast. The parallels with what is happening in Western society to the experiments is scary. Here's a good video on the topic
