With a declining birth rate, prominent figures like Elon Musk and Bill Gates have warned that this could cause a crisis for the country in the future.

Concerns include a shortage of workers, leading to economic stagnation and a public unable to care for the elderly population without a strong, young taxpayer base.

In August, Musk warned of this, calling the declining birth rate the "biggest threat" to mankind, one that would lead to "population collapse."
