Depends upon a number of factors. It is easy to paint these topics with a broad stroke but they do not affect everything evenly. For example, robotics is going to devastate some industries while not really affecting others, at least for a long time. AI will do the same.
So what is the skillset of the population because there will still be humans required for many positions. What kind of brain drain do some countries experience (although AI might compensate for this)? How is the economy structured because, as it stands now, we have something that will not likely translate into large percentages of the population not contributing economically.
Then there is the pace this all happens. How does the technology, and more important, its impact, compare to the pace of population decline along with aging problem?
These questions are much different for the US or Australia as compared to Japan and South Korea.
This is so lovely, you talked about the big problem around the world that could get much worse. I believe the leaders and everyone else everywhere needs to focus on this right away and take strong action to fix issues. Because if we decide to ignore it or pretend it's not a big deal, things could get really bad in the future and become something we cannot manage and probably render many people useless.
I think it is mostly the third world countries that are having less fertility problems. I think the fertility is still above 2, but has been decreasing the past few years. I think robotics and AI are going to help the world transition to less people.
japan is kind of extreme tho O.O its kind of ironic how a lot of the asian porn come from theirh country but then they are probably the people that have the least sex in the world i think :x
This is a type of long-term problem that I've stopped to reflect on a few times and curiously, Japan was the first country I remembered, as I've seen news related to fertility problems... young people don't want to have children.
With the advancement of technology, many people become increasingly "enslaved" in social networks, for example, real life becomes something that is just necessary like going to school, college, going to work... less real life in a way people are social and this is also influenced by the country, economically speaking.
There are several factors why people are less and less wanting to have children and when they do, it is at most one or two. Here in Brazil there is a flawed pension system and you even gave me a tip for a post in the future hahaha...
I imagine that one of the salvations will be what the machines did in The Matrix, remember? We were a battery for them... AI managed to make us reproduce without the traditional method...
But seriously, the direction this is going is worrying. Thinking about ways to reverse this would be a priority for any country.
If A.I., robotics, and blockchains make many jobs redundant, is flatlining population really a problem?

That is true. But we are seeing it in the second world countries. And even the third world is seeing a decline albeit still above replacement rate.
