There is a lot of talk about fertility and a snapshot of current fertility rate can be misleading. Factors like delayed childbirth, increased average lifespan, natural generational fluctuations will affect the natural population change. This map shows when countries is expected to have more deaths than births and even though countries like Australia and Sweden is actually expected to have a natural population growth for longer than all of North and South America even thou they have lower fertility rates today.
