Swansea population might not have actually reduced. The census was complicated by various lockdowns and regional rule changes so quite a few from Swansea might have gone to their 2nd or 3rd homes and would have been recorded somewhere else. 👍
 
The problem is all these old people living really old, scrounging old age pension benefits, using the NHS, not paying taxes and not working.

Although this is likely in jest, protection of pensioners-more pertinently those on old final salary pensions, does put more taxation burden on young workers who will NOT receive such generous pensions. I'm not talking about those on the small state pension. Plenty of very comfortable pensioners and others in poverty.
 
Young people like my contemporaries and I aren’t having kids because we can’t afford it. After mortgage, bills, and essentials my wife and I have barely have a couple of hundred quid left to put away to save. If we had a kid it would blow our household finances apart so we got a dog instead…
