No need for that. The golden c64 generation will start with early retirements in a few years. Younger generations have less interest in IT (on average) and will yield fewer and fewer tech workers.

What I describe is the mechanism by which unions increase wages for their members. It would be good if you could explain what you were trying to say and its relevance.

Less workers means scarcity and implies better wages and conditions.

Yes. You get less workers by restricting entry. That reduces output but increases union workers bargaining power, making society generally poorer but the members of the union richer.
