Given our resource utilization rates and sustainability problems, isn't this a good thing? Yes, some social changes will have to happen to account for the change but this is mostly handled by automation.
- pfranz 7y agoI completely agree it's not necessarily a good thing, but from a government overseeing an economy perspective it's desirable. It's something Japan and a lot of other countries are trying to address. Managing population decline is complicated by not being uniform. It was also an easy filter: who cares if child care is expensive if you don't care if the population grows?
