Varför skulle levnadsstandarden sjunka genom att befolkningen minskar? På vilka sätt?
Det ekonomiska begreppet "division of labour", arbetsdelning på svenska, innebär att folk gör olika saker, specialiserar sig och handlar med varandra. Denna effekt ökar beroende på hur många som ingår i ekonomin globalt sett.
Detta kanske kan ge en inblick:
"The division of labor, a leading feature of capitalism, which can exist in highly developed form only under capitalism, provides among other major benefits, the enormous gains from the multiplication of the amount of knowledge that enters into the productive process and its continuing, progressive increase. Just consider: each distinct occupation, each suboccupation, has its own distinct body of knowledge. In a division-of-labor, capitalist society, there are as many distinct bodies of knowledge entering into the productive process as there are distinct jobs. The totality of this knowledge operates to the benefit of each individual, in his capacity as a consumer, when he buys the products produced by others — and much or most of it also in his capacity as a producer, insofar as his production is aided by the use of capital goods previously produced by others"
