Replacement rates is a capitalist concern. For the way humans over consume and destroy the environment - lowering population is good. We have technologies to pick up the slack of labor lost. This is a non-issue except to the owner class who want prop up their ever expanding economies delusion.

EDIT: Not too bad. Age group 15-64: 107.5 men per 100 women.
