Regarding point 2: The developed world birthrates are well below replacement rate and likely staying that way, but that's not new. (Also, East Asia has the lowest birthrates in the world, not the US/Europe).

The world news story is the rest of the world rapidly approaching that, even in many not so rich places.

Within developed countries, I'm only particularly familiar with US data, but what's happening in the US is that the big minority + immigrant groups are what's showing the biggest drops, moving them towards the white birthrate.
