#3I feel that people underestimate the impact of this.
The current world economy is built on the assumption that the population pyramid is a pyramid, if there’s a glut in the influx of healthy new citizens a whole slew of supply chains will collapse.

On the demand side - but how would automation/AI/robotics impact the supply/production side (i.e. will we replace the unborn would-be new workers with new robots)?

Whole slews of supply chains collapse all the time. Just look at some rust-belt factories. Or take a look at some 80's computer magazines, where there are an endless number of software companies selling pascal and lisp compilers, BBS software, etc. Not to mention floppy disc drives and CD-ROM drives.

Fortunately, there is no limit to what we want :-)
According to my high-school econ teacher, who defined economics as the art of satisfying our unlimited desires with limited resources.
