There Is a Much Larger Problem Than the Great Resignation. No One Wants to Talk About It

Is the Great Resignation a trial balloon for a much bigger problem…..actually running out of people? It’s an iron law of socio-economics that with economic development comes population decline - and it is inevitable that this becomes a recruiting problem. With democratic societies polarised by the caustic immigration debate, bringing in foreign workers is no longer the politically viable path it has been. I have no idea what to do about this (hiring the retired like Japan, keep pushing back the idea of retiring altogether like the UK?) but, as OP says, we do have to start talking about it.
