A fertility of 1.5 is a crisis for capitalism, but it's a manageable for society. Every class of school children is 75% of the previous generation.
Fertility of 1 means each generation is half the size of the previous one. That's a challenge to maintaining civilization, not just profits. A Fertility of .7 every generation is 35% the size of the previous.
