lots of old people + more pensions + more healthcare costs + less young people working = young people pay more taxes + work harder for less = a bad thing
outside of some techno fantasy solution where robots care for the elderly (how dystopian in itself) having more old people than young people is never a good thing
But it’s good for the current old people that can exploit the labor of a larger young population and then die before they have to deal with the fallout.
