Or encourage families to have kids through incentives?

Wait. I thought you said you were not capable of coming up with solutions.

You do realize it’s not just me, but lots of countries and scientists around the world pointing to the problems that can arise from a rapidly aging population, right?

Yea lots of scientists around the world are also claiming the covid vaccine is harmful.

hey have the worlds lowest birth rate, and this year it dropped even lower to 0.78 children per woman. By 2067, it is predicted that 46% of the population will be over 65. Can you really not grasp how this will have huge ramifications for a society?

Yea it will not have any major ramifications.

When the working population is drastically lower than it is now? How will this affect the economy?

With increased automation and AI it will not effect the economy at all. If anything it will help because we are going to need less people to do the same work anyway.

If it isn’t a problem, why waste all that money?

Religion mostly. Also cultural norms to a lesser extent.

Yeah, you have no idea what you're talking about, and I'm quite bored of discussing this with you.

Congratulations.
