Reply to comment by Down_The_Rabbithole in The Great People Shortage is coming — and it's going to cause global economic chaos | Researchers predict that the world's population will decline in the next 40 years due to declining birth rates — and it will cause a massive shortage of workers. by Shelfrock77

We do not have to produce soo many things if there is less people so a lot of jobs will dissapear if the population is becoming smaller

Not how it works. There is an explosion in job applications right now because of the transition to a digital economy. Digital goods are already unlimited, meaning if there are fewer consumers it doesn't mean a (programmer/artist) just has to produce less. The worker needs to produce the same amount, the end product just gets distributed to fewer people digitally at the end, which doesn't impact it as much.

Yes so fewer people will pay for the digital product and it will not be profitiable to compete if the costumers can not pay for the digital products and services
