The cost of living in India is going to be pretty low compared to colder countries, so it shouldn't cost a lot to provide a decent lifestyle.

With accelerating automation, most people are going to have to depend on a much smaller set of people/industries. A shrinking population is not bad given we make plans for the future.

Cost of living in India is low because of the large population. A generation or two from now things will look very different when there's no more dirt cheap labor to go around.
