The Aging Baby Boomer Generation Problem and the Economics of Poverty
Non-Renewable Resources, Population Growth, and the Economics of Poverty
Many governments are considering population growth as a solution to the aging baby boomer problem (higher social support system and healthcare costs...). Does the economics of such policies really add up?
Or, would population growth be a huge mistake, making us poorer in addition to accelerating the depletion of non-renewable resources and precipitating an economic crisis?
