Yes, but as I wrote this desire doesn't seem to be enough to renew generations.

Most of the population explosion is behind us. Many developed countries have sub-replacement fertility, and it seems to be a trend followed by developing countries.

"As of 2010, about 48% (3.3 billion people) of the world population lives in nations with sub-replacement fertility."[1]
