Why was "would" used here? Please help
" It is natural that businesses would want their workforce as young as possible."
1. Would is for softening "will"?
2. Is it to say that businessess are willing??
3. Or is it to show a hypothetical meaning? If so, what would be the if-clause here?
Please help. Thanks so much!
