    The problem is that you will end up with a massive shortage of man power. Automation may fill in the gaps but at the end of the day you will end up with a labor shortage.

    There also is the problem of not having enough people to take care of the elderly. We are slowly moving to a future where the majority of the population is old and grey

      Again, a duly needed change. Less people means less everything, so less need for so much bullshit to produce and consume. Less overall is a good thing.
