No, there are not enough children
The rate of population growth has fallen considerably and in developed countries the population would be shrinking if it wasn't for immigration.
Immigration is only a short term solution as developing countries will eventually have low birth rates as well.
Population shrinking is a good thing, but unfortunately it is not happening everywhere
It will overtime as people become educated and build careers instead of having kids
The population can’t keep growing indefinitely, the planet can’t sustain that.
It very bad when the population drops in a short timeframe. (such as a century)
Public infrastructure works better with lots of people.
