Thank you for an interesting and informative article. Of course,though realigning demographics and the offices of government might make decrease the social friction associated with governance, would not actually solve any material problems, such as unemployment and poverty.

Since you, too, have a degree in economics I thought you might find interesting a monetary paradigm I have developed that would provide the means to solve those problems as well as actually eliminating the need for taxes and public debt. It would also of itself increase sustainability. Achieving those outcomes would reduce societal tensions immensely. [The link would take you to a summary that is a “5 min read” here in Medium.]

As a behavioral economist it might be of particular interest to you that achieving those outcomes would not require any particular behavior. Rather, they are built into the paradigm’s institutional structure. So nobody would have to change any of one’s behavior one whit. As a younger person who is facing such threatening times, might such an idea be of vital importance?
