No we shouldn’t, because “the developed world” is not a fixed thing. We can make the entire world developed.

  But who'll work the sweatshops then?
  • munk-a 4y ago
    Nobody. Who ever said sweatshops were a necessary part of a functioning economy?

    If only we could have developed some machine that are good at doing repetitive work. One can only dream. /S But yeah, I get your point. The fact that we still rely on sweatshop imports proves there's something wrong with our society.

  I agree with you. But development doesn't happen overnight and it's the people who control the ideas and technology that have the power to develop the rest of the world. And if that population growth is in decline at the same time it's needed to push development forward, isn't that cause for concern?

    It’s not a cause for concern. The rate of population growth in highly developed areas can be turned up or down simply by admitting or denying immigrants.

    Only if you assume that the developed world has some special sauce that requires you being born here to work.
