    Your response was

    It’s not about necessary jobs, it’s about paying into social security / pensions.

    In my answer those are two topics that are not directly related, although they are linked by both having to do with the economy.

    Hence I gave responses to both topics.

      The “necessary jobs” topic is unrelated to the “fund pensions” topic. And the “fund pensions” topic is the one that’s being discussed in relation to population control.

      You brought up a completely irrelevant topic, that’s what I’m saying.

        It comes full circle because the proposed solution is to increase the number of people who are able to work, with the idea that those people will take on more jobs, and those jobs will fund pensions.

        I think this is a bad idea because we already have more workers than useful jobs. An increase in the population wont really help.
