It's true that many cultures are producing insufficiently a younger population to supplant the elderly. A lot are bearing statistics of producing 1.4 to 1.8 kids per family on the average.
China's had the situation, encouraged by the government at times.
Glad to say, all that governments need to do, and its primarily resolved through government action, I believe, is to offer payments to parents who take on more children. You can think of occupations where a father or mother is so busy furthering a career that their spouse would be glad to raise more kids, e.g., doctors, lawyers and busy CEOs without much time. Personally, I've been busy in my later years, that had I been married, I would have encouraged my spouse to take on the raising of a kid while I keep working away more than most do at my job!
Just to leave the reader with the thought, I think it would be easy to find situations where some parent, either divorced and living alone, or just having a busy spouse at his or her job, would welcome a new member of the family for the added company--and joy!
And, it's not right for corporations to prey upon child labor. There's plenty of love and care available in families of the society, where a child can do much good helping and encouraging one another in a family group; where they can belong.
My opinion.
