Find ways to make money off of low skill jobs. I make more raising ducks and selling their eggs than most architects in the county (which is what my degree is in from 1985).
I know, what do all those people complaining about overpopulation think would happen if we took their advice about zero population growth? Eventually we would die out as a species. Look at all the countries that are having troubles because the birth rate is too low.
European countries that rely on several workers for every pensioner had to open their countries up to immigration and now it's destroying their centuries-old cultures.
Japan has the lowest birth rate in the world, and it is estimated that by 2060 the population will decrease from about 127 million to about 87 million, and of that population 40% will be 65 or older. They could become a ghost country unless they do something they've long fought against - mass immigration.
Russia is so worried about declining birth rates that they outlawed homosexuality and are encouraging marriage. I'm not sure what their stance is on abortion at this time, but I do remember a few years ago seeing a report about the number of abortions women in Russia have. It was common for a woman to have not one but three, four, five, etc. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Russia has outlawed abortion.

No, what they did was implement a maternity program that pays women for each kid they have. I think it is $10K/kid up to 2. They are talking about extending it to three kids.
What's to become of the low skilled workers in the future?.
That depends entirely on what we decide to do about the other 20-40,000,000 people who
would compete with the needed workers for one of the fewer and fewer low skilled jobs.
If we can avoid replacing the current crop of 20-40,000,000 no/low skilled people
(who we really don't have enough hours for now) then the future low skilled workers should be OK.
If we can trim that number down by another 20-40,000,000 more they'll have a good life.
And everyone on the next tier above them will as well.
But if the 40-80,000,000 surplus still exists... then we're all doomed.
Do something to protect your grandchildren.

They will first be found shopping in the pet food isle.
