First and foremost, under a dictatorship, the populace becomes afraid to speak out or ask for help from their government, as attracting the attention of a tyrant is generally a very bad idea. So broken things go unrepaired, crimes are not reported, people just suffer through the shortages and absurdities of life under an uncaring or hostile regime.
The apathy and hopelessness that set in result in a low birthrate and eventual economic downturns as there are fewer workers to fill jobs, since apathetic people have few or no kids, and decaying moribund countries seldom attract immigrant workers. 'Life is not worth living,' becomes a tacit agreement throughout the country. Romania under Ceausescu is an example of a dictatorship where banning birth control was done to force Romanians to have large families despite their poverty. Thus orphanages in Ceausescu's Romania became full of malnourished kids whose parents had abandoned them.
As the general population sinks deeper into deprivation and misery, two possibilities arise; rebellion and war. Successful rebellion will solve the immediate problem by removing the dictator, but the rebels will need to be vigilant lest their replacement government turn out to be as unjust and uncaring as the previous one. War and subsequent rapid defeat may save the population if enough survive and the foe cares enough to help rebuild and ally with the former dictatorship. The worst case scenario is that the dictatorship will win the war and enslave or kill off the people of the enemy country, increasing human suffering and injustice.
