That's called infertility, and it's a separate issue. Fertility rate refers to children per woman, and this is decreasing globally to unsustainable levels. There is a phenomenon known as the "demographic transition" that refers to the demographic shift of pre-industrial high births and high mortality, to high births and low mortality due to modern science, to finally low births and low mortality.

Obviously this can't be universally applied because those immigrants have to come from somewhere.
