How is the stable population in Scandinavia a problem? The only people who seem 'concerned' are conservatives with their 'POPULATE OR PERISH!' mentality. Overpopulation brings strain on society and impoverishes the nation, Scandinavian countries have great state-funded social systems of welfare etc, and having a stable and controllable birth rate means that this social system isn't put under economic strain.
You see, unlike America where the the logic is 'BREED MORE!!!' which just causes more poverty, Europe has a plan for sustainable growth and shared and equal prosperity.
Get out of the 19th century mindset, having a big population is not a good thing anymore, what is best is having a small skilled population under a welfare-state and not a horde of unskilled labor fresh for big business to exploit till they drop dead - like America. Europe is far more compassionate than America in this way, while America is brutal and uncaring in it's cold economic calculations for profits for the few while the many suffer.
