More people in Europe are dying than are being born, according to a new report co-authored by a Texas A&M University demographer. In contrast, births exceed deaths, by significant margins, in Texas and elsewhere in the U.S., with few exceptions.
Texas A&M Professor of Sociology Dudley Poston, along with Professor Kenneth Johnson, University of New Hampshire, and Professor Layton Field, Mount St. Mary's University, published their findings in Population and Development Review this month.
The researchers find that 17 European nations have more people dying in them than are being born (natural decrease), including three of Europe's more populous nations: Russia, Germany and Italy. In contrast, in the U.S. and in the state of Texas, births exceed deaths by a substantial margin.

Japan is closest to the point of not having enough laborers to handle the needs of the economy. Most countries don't have that problem because they import labor to handle the problem. Unless you're in a war torn 3rd world nation, there's a good chance that there's somebody out there that would love to come work so they could improve their life.
As I recall, the only reason the US' population remains growing is because of immigration. Which is a large part of why the population is on track to no longer be majority white.
