I think extinction is a lil bit of an exaggeration. The population growth rate is declining, but the population is still growing. There is overpopulation, and by the time we reach 2050, food and other resources such as wood will be scarcer.
I think it’s a great thing women tend to have babies less. This means a better planet, happier babies and happier parents. Win, win, win.

There is also a lot of advantages to older parents though. Fewer social and emotional dilemmas for the child, more likely to make better progress in language development, older parents are better at setting boundaries resulting in less behavioral issues and the list goes on.

Your view is simplistic and still completely incorrect that we are headed towards extinction.
So the earth is getting pretty fucked up due to climate change, food is going to be scarce in 2050, and lumber will be as well because the demand for housing, sustainable energy, and manufacturing will only increase source
A population decline also has other advantages taken from the example of China article.
