What does this have to do with capitalism?
Capitalists are freaking out over the declining birthrate because anyone with a brainstem knows "AI" and robots won't replace human workers for a long time, and the machine is hungry.
It seems like its just ethno-nationalists freaking out. Capitalists have been tackling this problem with immigration for a long time.
Immigration is going to stop working as developing countries develop
In about 80 years global population growth should finish leveling out, at which point immigration will become a more difficult strategy for all but the most popular destinations. In the meantime, development only seems to be a barrier for importing huge numbers of low skilled labor, and thats mostly because many of the jobs were exported directly to them instead. A more developed globe has actually been a boon for anyone looking to import skilled labor.
Don’t forget AI and automation.
