When population declines enough, population will go back up.
Population decline isn't a bad thing. The Black Plague, WW1, WW2. All were more severe population declines and the result was improved lives for everyone.
*for everyone who survived.
I'd argue that the lives of those who died from wars and plagues got much worse, particularly due to the whole "dying" part.
But not having babies isn't killing anyone. It's the best type of population decline. It's also slower than war/plague so it's an easier transition.
