I don’t understand the huge issue with a periodic decline in population (if it’s natural…). Like if you let them be, won’t everything work itself out? Eventually population will reach a equilibrium, can’t go up forever, can’t stay the same, and wouldn’t drop to zero unless there’s a much bigger issue at hand, right?
I feel like these concerns are raised solely as evidence for replacing a population aka mass immigration and forced mixing of races and cultures. Do we really need a increased population every single decade of human existence?
What will be the ripple effec of a Japanese population that takes a dip back to 1980’s numbers for example?
The lack of care for the elderly when they outnumber the young. Less young people in the work force means less tax revenue to keep society functioning. It's a lot of bad things for a lot of different demographics such as the elderly voting block taking over on most political issues. So everything from economics to policy gets affected.
Lmao, tax revenue does not keep society functioning. Most of our taxes are spent on fucking bullshit and social security is a ponzu scheme that was destined to fail from the beginning.
And they are waking up too late... Opening up to higher fertility needs 30 years too late.
Or perhaps it's all by design....

And yet, Japan will still be Japanese in 100 years.
They're already doing it.
It takes 100 years to recover from depopulation
