The Effects of Negative Population Growth

             Negative population growth can bring difficulties to a nation. To keep from getting into negative population everyone would have to have at least two kids and few people would have to have three. Children basically take the place of their parent when they die at a ripe old age and the population would roughly stay the same. Most, if not all nations depend on how many people, and in what ways the people the nation has contribute to that nation. If the population decreases, then the value of property would decrease, social security would lessen, and the economy would be less productive. This would affect everyone sooner or later.
             The property of value would diminish because property value only goes as far as people are willing to pay for it. No matter how much you spend on something, its value may not always be the same. For example, let's say Ben Jones buys a brand new car. He then drives it off the lot and instantly loses a couple thousand on that car. It is now considered a used car and less people would be willing to pay and buy that car. The same with property, its value changes in different circumstances.
             In another predicament, less social security would be given to senior citizens. No matter how much they have worked all their lives, it is nearly impossible to give them their fully deserve money if less people are there to pay taxes. For some people, that might be the only way they can get money. The government surely wouldn't have enough money to give because the government benefits and gets its money from the taxes as well. If the people pay more taxes, on the other hand, citizens would be striving to pay for their family's food and the food of others. Many people will be retiring in the next few years because of the baby boom that went on in the 1940's and 1950's after World War II and this might be a problem in years to come.
             Another problem that we might have to tackle is that the economy would be less productive. ...
