    Both. Economies suffer when the populations cannot replenish workforces and when average age gets older and older.

    You end up with too many people to support and not enough people to do the work.

      Isn’t that a temporary thing though, eventually that hump will pass and we’d be down to more sustainable population levels. I’d rather it happens naturally because of birth rates than because half the planet becomes unsurvivable.
