The usual suspects finally discover that demography is destiny not the number of warm bodies used to prop up the Keynesian circular Ponzi scheme:

We examine national data at the global scale to test whether slower population growth or ageing populations are linked to worse economic or social outcomes. Using nine different indices of socio-economic performance (domestic comprehensive wealth, income equality, research and development expenditure, patent applications, human capital, corruption perception index, freedom, planetary pressure-adjusted Human Development Index, healthy life expectancy at birth), we find no evidence that they are. In fact, we find that countries with low or negative population growth perform better on average for all indicators, and that even within-country time series show that most older and slower-growing populations fare better on average.

In other words, quality matters more than quantity. “Equality” is a lie. Send the Irish and Italians back!
