Chalk up the decline in California primarily to people having fewer babies, said Stephen Levy, director of the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy, a research group. The state’s birth rate is at the lowest in history. Other experts suggest falling foreign immigration and more out-migration to other states also are hurting California.


“There aren’t enough kids in the pipeline to fill all the jobs of retiring people,” Levy said. “We’re going to need immigration and housing policies that pull people from around the world and the country into California.”



The state may increasingly struggle to lure and retain young people if the cost of living keeps rising in urban centers, including for housing, and traffic jams aren’t addressed.

It seems the saying "California is like the rest of America, only moreso" is painfully true in this case.

Work on your fucked laws then. I've been hanging out with dudes from all over the US recently and they are utterly blown away when I tell them some of the shit that California has done from the intentional infection of people with HIV being lowered to a misdemeanor to handing out free heroin needles in the city nearby to where I lived to insane housing costs to banning the gig economy. Its got insane policies and even if you are working tech, other cities are building that up better than much of California in terms of pay compared to cost of living and I guarantee businesses are going to be moving from the state soon enough.

California’s gonna have lots of young people from those immigrants.....only definite thing is that I’m pretty sure they’d prefer STEM over non-STEM

If you can't make your pile, you leave if you can.

The issue isn't HIV decriminalization or needle exchanges. It's Proposition 13, where your property tax is proportional to when you bought the property, and thus is effectively a youth tax. Marry that to a high cost of living, and it's time to head for the hills.

The recent destruction of the gig economy also is highly disadvantageous to young workers. One of the way young workers can get experience and get their foot in the door in an industry was via short term temp work, and while that didn't always pan out to a full time position, it helped build a resume and got them experience. With that damage done to the gig economy in California, young workers will not be able to use that avenue to build a career anymore, and heaven help someone who's effective trying to start their own business / is self employed.

I think its Hilarious that all of these reporters supported the law and then it destroyed their jobs.

IRONIC.
