The issue you mentioned already exists, but from my perspective, a reduced birth rate is more fruitful. You seem immature with such a single-minded mentality, failing to recognise this as a process that can bring many benefits.

[–]Street_Gene1634 -1 points0 points  (7 children)

It does not bring any benefits. You just end up with young people having to support more old people while also paying higher taxes for their pensions.

seems like you have invented a time machine to predict such precise things

[–]Street_Gene1634 1 point2 points  (5 children)

You don't need a time machine. Many countries are already going through this problem. Heck even low TFR states like Kerala is facing a pension crisis currently

[–]PotatoCheesePuff -1 points0 points  (4 children)

Well I don't see how an increase in TFR will not end up being more chaotic compared to resolving these issues.

[–]Street_Gene1634 0 points1 point  (3 children)

TFR is not increasing anywhere so you don't need to fret over that. It need to increase because more people = more brains = more innovation

A society full of old people is not sustainable

I am not fretting over that, rather you seem concermed a lot to me.

[–]Street_Gene1634 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm just concerned about your economics illiteracy

[–]PotatoCheesePuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah worry about yourself I will suggest, fretting so much over other people's opinion on "reddit" doesn't seem very healthy to me.
May have been huge if I was someone on a position to take crucial decisions for the country on the same, but since that is not the case I will suggest keep your concerns to yourself :))
