At least your leader is no longer brainwashed by a shaman who channels her dead father while taking bribes from those conglomerates [1]. That father who was also your former military dictator who followed the great tradition of torturing and murdering socialists and worker leaders with the CIAs help.

It’s natural that that kind of change will have some massive societal implications, many of which they are still sorting out.
Their birth rate is something that will require immense attention and work to begin to correct, but it’s worth noting what they’ve accomplished in getting to a place where they can afford to worry about that as one of their primary concerns.
It's probably also worth noting the long history of military dictatorships, murderous suppression of worker rights, massive ongoing corruption (including a literal cult controlling the government until 2016) and the highest suicide rate in the world. Reducing the story to just economies is truly narrow minded.
