Since the Boomers, specifically.
By my age, my grandparents had 5 and 6 kids, respectively, my parents had two.
They had eight and thirteen grandkids respectively, my parents have two.

But you do need *some*. Populations naturally adjust to meet the level of resources/need present. In our case, (((somebody))) pushed a ton of "overpopulation" propaganda while we were in the middle of our natural adjustment, causing a full blown collapse, allowing them to make the ludicris claim that we "need immigrants".
While the boomers were a notable trend downward, population graphs going back as far as to the 1800s show a marked decline starting by the early 1900s (from several times replacement rates to just a bit over it, especially in Europe). It wasnt the boomers that started it, they just intensified the trend. This really *started* with the lost generation, or even the unnamed generation before it.

Honestly they probably didn't even need to push the overpopulation myth. They could have claimed that we needed immigrants anyways, we were already well below replacement by the time that they started coming. Plus, the countries in *europe* worst affected by the fertility crisis are actually the ones with the people who care about that propaganda the least. Spain, Italy, and Greece have absolutely abysmal birth rates and nobody is refusing to have children because of overpopulation, or even because of birth control/social liberalism, but rather because of economic issues, which are very real in this area (coupled with the fact that they would have fallen anyways). But on the ground if you ask someone here why they don't have kids, almost nobody will give you the answer of overpopulation. They will just say that they can't afford it, which is usually unfortunately true.
I feel like the overpopulation propaganda wasn't really followed much except by a small group of the most liberal people in a given nation. I think that the impetus for this, actually, was a greater focus on the control of energy and pushing "green" policies, because every time overpopulation was mentioned, it would be tied in with something about human impact on the environment or what have you. The white population and fertility rates were never an issue for what they wanted to do, they could've done it anyways. The fact that they're advocating for immigrants, I believe, is an aside, but it serves to point out blatant hypocrisy. They would have advocated for immigrants regardless. Even if they never pursued the overpopulation narrative at all.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
We also have to remember that there was no “safety net”, and generations of family lived together, took care of each other, and helped each other out as the older folks aged out of the more physical tasks which was actually an extreme luxury. I’ve heard of a couple of stories from frens, and family of people from their tree keeling over while working outside at advanced ages because the work needed to be done.
