would mean/would slow down/would receive

[I'm a Chubby Baby]

Hi, everyone. I used three 'would' in a row to answer the question. I don't know whether repeating 'would' sound repetitive or not.

Question: In the future, there will be a higher proportion of older people than young people in many countries. Is this a positive or negative development?

My answer: It is a negative development. A smaller young population would mean fewer people in the workforce. This would slow down economic growth, and as a result the government would receive less tax revenue.

You've used would correctly there. Well done.

Don't worry about repeating 'grammatical words'.
