It is not, what you see people complaining about in certain countries is that their population is getting older without much younger generations to replace them however what they’re really saying is “there aren’t enough people that look like us being born” as these are the same countries that would close their doors to families and babies that come looking for a home from other countries.

Just like a hungry person cannot be a picky eater, a country that supposedly needs more people cannot at the same time reject new people.

There’s 8 billion people in this planet, that is a lot of people already, we don’t have a population decline problem, we have a population distribution problem.
