Wonder whether the loss of jobs to “computerization” will balance out the loss of population. Worrisome for a consumer based economy. There’s plenty of money out there but its distribution isn’t optimal. Given that people won’t willingly get rid of their comforts, they can raise salaries and increase stability to make it comfortable to have and care for children.
Define “computerization” as you wish.
- cebert 1y agoI hadn’t considered that, but it’s a great point. If we have more automation and less jobs available, perhaps we need to stop looking at populations in the lens of the past.
- apothegm 1y agoAutomation seems to be outpacing drops in population (which due to lifespans lag drops in reproduction rates) by a good chunk.
