With society and the world like *gestures at everything*, should population reduction be a good thing? Why are we hearing about countries encouraging population growth? Economic impact of some sort, I assume?
In: Economics
The more practical answer is that a country needs more and more younger people to replenish the work force and keep the economy going, as older folks retire.
But historically human populations always experience exponential growth as resources are available, until they no longer are, so there is a massive population decline. (Look at [Malthusianism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthusianism))
