  1. ​​ @neocortex8198 ot really... In both of those cases you'd get a drop in productivity and people falling into poverty because a lot of those people genuinely can't work even if governments and sometimes other people think that they can... And more desperate people would also lead to more crime... As for the kids... Well, if they work they don't do other things vital for their future capabilities as people, be that education or development as individuals... And their future productivity will suffer as a result... Essentially your "solution" is at best just a attempt at kicking the box forwards... Also, it causes legitimacy issues for taxes and retirement funds etc... Essentially, if people expect to get certain benefits from paying for something and they don't get that then I'd the government or whoever is paying for the pensions isn't holding their end of the deal then why should we? And people start trying to avoid taxes etc.... (Already a problem, but it gets worse if your suggestion is followed, and there's always migration to countries with better terms, with the resulting loss of taxes on inheritance etc)

  2. We can handle a moderate population fall, especially if it happens at different times in different locations. But a sharp drop isn't sustainable...
