It was a huge problem when child mortality was high due to famine, war or illnesses. European and Chinese history are infamous for having periods where population was actually declining instead of growing
To answer the world current situation: Changes in cultural habits and efficient contraceptive methods are the reason. People are more individualistic and no longer see having kids as something they need to. And the ones who have kids are satisfied with only one, which is not enough for population replacement anyway
