well according to
this , we are all going to have tons of problems because the US birth rate (as well as china) is quite low.
is it definitely 100% true that an aging population is bad for economies? if so, what are the reasons? I haven't read much about this type of thing and am curious. seems like some pretty bad off countries currently have very high birth rates.

Perhaps because I wrote the OP in the wee hours the headline/title for this story seemed wrong for the 2+2 Politics forum. Over there we had
a related thread and at least one that stated with a
quite different viewpoint.
