If you want to shrink a population, you have to do it slowly while adapting the system to it. In a few years, with the boomer generation slowly retiring, Europe would be fucked without immigration. Too many retired people with not enough young people to care for them and uphold the economy at the same time. You can’t fix the resulting hole in manpower by only increasing efficiency. In Germany we are talking about a lack of 400k people per year.

One would even say that it is too much for just efficiency improvements.

I would start with the advertisment sector, but it still won’t be enough.

It’s not that we have too many people, it’s that we have an inefficient system based on exploiting those people and not providing for them.
We could probably sustain several times the current population… just not with the current methods we use.
