Does a smaller population not benefit everyone?
In: Planetary Science
Most of the issues related to population decline are economic. The general structure we have for retirement and what that looks like during population decline. One way to think about it is literal dollar values are just conceptual units based on the national output on a broader economy.
What happens when 40%+ of the population is cashing in on conceptual units of money from their retirement accounts with a smaller than ever working population to produce that national output that gives money its value? That’s the problem.
