> why be alarmed by low birth rate

Cause it signifies national decline.

> as long as its voluntary

"Voluntary" is such a tricky word. The low birth rate was entirely manufactured by societal norms instituted by the elites. Not just in japan, but in much of the world ( US, china, russia, EU, etc ).

> and not caused by an endemic health concern

Declining population is an endemic health concern. If you don't put a stop to it, the nation eventually ceases to exist.

Right. And how your nation does directly affects you.
