So on the topic, can someone explain why birth rates are so important if it isn't lower then the death rate? I see this issue so much and I really can't find a good issue other then economic reasons

If the birth rate is too low, the population will progressively become older and older with fewer young people there to support them

Once all the old people did which will be soon then the issue solves itself. Then maintaining a manageable population will be easy.

The thing about old people is that young people turn into them
