Notes -
In that horrific (or funny) podcast with Tyler Cowen feminist author Srinivasan basically says the quiet part out loud: that worrying about fertility is and should be seen as right wing and therefore suspicious, and people shouldn't do that because anyways immigration is a better solution (conveniently, as you can guess by her name, Srinivasan is an immigrant herself).
So it's not a problem but, if it is, you're not allowed to attempt to fix it in the most direct way, you have to actually accelerate some of the negative features of low-fertility states you don't like. Those're your options. Convenient for the other side no?
Given that I see similar tendencies elsewhere on the Left, I'm not inclined to trust that "don't worry about fertility" is something people only come to after hardcore, objective analysis.
