What a dangerous, and nearly libelous article! Yes, lack of workers in certain areas will affect certain economies. But world-wide, there are too freakin' many people for this planet to support, (at least in the way we would like to support them now.) We don't need more bodies to work (your own new handsome offspring aside), we need to rethink how economies work so they can function well with less people. Technology will help. One example: Look on youtube at all the cool agricultural harvesting equipment that reduce the need for manual labor. But it will also take a change in mindset. Right now, there are both places where people can't find any work and there are places where enough workers can't be found. The problem is they are often not in the same place. Better employment/economy management, not more bodies, is what is needed... We are coming closer to the reductio absurdum argument of a world so full of people with that they will have to stand on each other's heads, like bacteria in a petri dish. Good luck finding jobs for all of them when they can't tie their shoes because they can't see their feet!
