If these trends continue, a shrinking number of workers will have to support a growing number of retirees. Labour shortages and a smaller tax base could majorly impact the economy. Economists say strict Covid-19 rules are partly to blame. They expect a low birth rate and a rapidly ageing population to have far-reaching effects. The latest data comes as government implores people to have more children after decades of doing the opposite. Al Jazeera’s Katrina Yu reports […]
