No I don't think it's that either: for example many seem to get especially upset when I suggest that most developed countries have naturally slightly declining populations so they should more or less be left alone rather than implement policies to drive population growth.

They are not trying to promote population growth. Rather avoiding a too steep decline.
No they're trying to promote population growth.
No, they are not. Most countries would be happy to get back to population replacement. Countries like Korea, Germany or Japan CANNOT even dream of increasing their population at 1.2 fertility rate. Get your facts right.
Yes they are.
