What type of decisions would win, when we face:

New Job Creation vs.

> Population growth
> Outsourcing
> Increase in Longevity (i.e. people living and working
longer)

In other words, what will happen when the number of jobs available for people begin to shrink in the face of the three factors listed above, all decreasing the number of jobs available for people?

Would governments begin to regulate the industry (in a free-market enterprise system), applying more state control? Would private enterprise be less dependent on market factors, which would decrease control on the price of products and services?

What is more, is that these three factors are not the only ones in conflict with job supply and I think are each safely speeding up in terms of influence.
