If the countries of South America and Africa all stopped having a high fertility rate, the world would go to shit. Immigrants are an extremely vital part of any economy, yet people seem to regard hem as a hinderance to progress. Corporations know this so they exploit the hatred of immigrants and the need of immigrants in work. If the aforementioned countries were to have a drop in fertility rate, corporations would freak the hell out. They would attempt to force people to have children even though people don't want them. The reason why people wouldn't want this is that the purpose of corporations is to not look out for the well-being of the world. Which is natural as the current economic system requires infinite growth. However because of the needed limitless economic growth a drop in productivity would cripple the whole system like a gunshot to the spine.
This economic system requires limitless growth even though there are finite resources in the world. Exploitation of every possible resource is used in order to maximize that limitless growth.
As a result disparities will arise.
Waste will pile up and is needed to be disposed of. people will have to bear the burden to disposing of that waste. Yet will not be paid a decent amount disposing of that waste since the leaders of the system view them as expendable. The leaders count on their successful exploitation to maintain their balance and power. A trickle down approach to economics only works if the class with the most wealth is heavily compelled to invest in the people. However because of greed and corruption caused by the enjoyment of their status, the ruling class is a heavy penny-pincher.
If their excess greed were to cause problems, the ruling class would simply create another problem, as their excess wealth and power affords them that luxury. This problem, seemingly unrelated to the ruling class, diverts the attention towards the ruling class' mistakes.
