    Population growth is a necessary evil of the capitalist nature of an economy, you need ever more people consuming, spending to grow an economy. A negative population growth a long with an aging population is disastrous to the Government agenda.

    We already are seeing the problems with an aging population, more people leaving work and going onto the welfare system (Pensions) and less workers working to pay for that.

    We have a large cohort of Baby Boomers approaching retirement age and the first of the GenX'ers not far behind.

    I do not profess to have answers to this problem but I am astute enough to know that the problem is very real.
