Why does population decline considered as a bad thing?
In: 1
Our entire economy is built on the idea of constant growth.
So when you have a declining population you have too many old people and not enough working age people paying into the system.
Since the elderly need more resources in terms of medical care, support, pensions, etc it puts a strain on the entire economy.
Automation would resolve some of this, as does social programs, and easy immigration policies.
