I think countries like South Korea need a population decline, it's a country the size of Ireland yet with 50 million people, that isn't healthy. Some old folk may suffer but if they could be convinced its for the greater good of their people, in particular with Asian family tradition, I'd say most would have a poorer last few years if it meant their children would have a better future.

I think the same idea needs to be applied to the older White/European generations as well.

The problem is that young people do all the buying in a society. Remove them and the country suffers an economic collapse. Countries like Germany are on their last legs right now. Another 5-10 years and their consumption will crash, resulting in a cascade of negative events.
