If a society has created the conditions where people don't want to procreate then that society needs to change. A large portion of a society not wanting to reproduce is not normal, healthy, or natural behaviour. 

Neither is it natural (from an evolutionary perspective) for us to spend half our lives staring at a TV or mobile screen, my dear Curl. Yet here we are!

The cold truth is: humanity decreasing in numbers is a good thing. A great thing, actually. We're already far past the maximum population this little planet can sustainably support, at least with our current levels of consumption and spending

A couple of decades ago, people were worried the Earth could no longer provide enough resources to sustain the human population. Now, we might actually have a chance to keep things under control without severely sacrificing technology and the comforts it brings us

It isn't places like the UK that are overpopulated though, it's the developing world that's overpopulated and having way too many kids.

At this point though we've gone way off topic from the actual incident with the girl though, so I'll leave it there.
