SF was quite proud of having forseen the population explosion and the problems it could cause. Demographic collapse? Some countries are already suffering it, and the world as a whole is expected to see its population go down with a century or two, but you'll never see a story where lack of children is a problem.
Though, OTOH, they can be an unnecessary complication. Many heroes lack parents and siblings for the same reason.
