It's a complex subject that deserves legitimate scientific study. There are known detrimental effects of low fertility rates in a country, but they often take a long time to manifest. However, there are also many examples of horrific consequences of governments trying to affect fertility rate.

I'm trying to think of a real world example of government breeding growth that's gone wrong, but I can't think of any.

There's plenty of examples of breeding control that have gone horrific of course. I just can't think of the opposite example.
