There has always been "famine and starvation", even thousands of years ago when the population was a lot less. But as a population grows and gets older, people seem to reproduce less.
Look at what's happening in Japan and other countries. As the average age of the population increases, they complain that there are not enough births. It seems that, somehow, nature might have a hand in this. Just as when there are wars, more males than females are born. It's automatic.
