China's population decline is having a big impact as marriages, diamond sales, and retail spending drop
- China’s population shrinkage is having a big effect on its economy. - Marriage rates have halved over the last decade, with only 3.4 million couples marrying in the first half. - Economists warn that an aging population could lead to sluggish growth and lower productivity.
I think China, which is very overpopulated, would really need some population shrinkage. It’s getting tiresome seeing articles whining about being “bad” for the “economy”.
The whole world probably has too many people, it’s just that the decline should be at a bearable rate (not too slow, not to fast) and occur at appropriate rates per area (some areas may be more overpopulated than others). And I ~dont give a care about the economy, we have means of aleviating the issues of decreased workforce by using robots, reducing unecessary jobs to save resources (like the whole ad industry?), but we live in such a capitalistic society that you ~have to step on others to survive and waste resources just to make money… Maybe this “economy” should be scrapped eventually.
PS. Lol, “oh no, the diamond sells are dropping, pump up more humans!” Pathetic…
