Well, I have no idea what the posters actual intention was, but there is a difference between an idea being the only thing that will work, and the idea being a good one. There are plenty of problems around where the solution is bad enough that it brings into question if you are even solving the right issue.
I view the birth rate issue this way.. I suspect the person is not that far off, and while you can mitigate the falling birthrates through various incentives and supports, the big driver really is that as women gain equality and their own lives, they make the same decision men likely would in their position and now want to have children.
But I think the solution is really going to have to involve coming up with a political and economic system that does not depend on constant growth.
