With negative population growth being such a concern I’m really surprised that there’s not far reaching, comprehensive, pro-family policies being enacted. Society seems stuck in the “productivity” graveyard spiral.

Where is negative population growth a concern? I’m concerned about the opposite.

In many developed nations, this is a valid concern which is even more problematic given that developed nations have the wealth to afford to let people take parental leave.

If you are still hearing about population explosions with the same urgency that we heard about 20 years ago, then you’re being fed information meant to vilify the “others”.
