Can we get all the oldies doing Uber eats or something?
Here in Sweden we have something called ättestupa. Our old people go to a cliff and jump off when they become a burden. Great success!
Oh no! The (in)finite growth strategy is backfiring.
Tax burden time!
Oh great, another thing to worry about. Like theres not enough already
That’s gonna cost a lot for the currently working class.
What does the shading on the ends of the lines mean?
Proof of 125 years old retirement system is collapsing especially in developed nations. When this system was designed at first people were literally living only half of their life comparing it with today. IDK what kind of measures must be taken maybe migration? But is it going to be possible to integrate those migrants which are going to be in huge numbers (no it won’t my country is experiencing it first hand). Or more child support for wanting parents? Or scrap the retirement system as whole and develop a compatible 21. century system?
Women living longer than men is suddenly not looking so great
Yup, Germans need to make more childeren to keep their system in place. Unfortunately for them only immigrants do, and this has severe consequences for their national identity.
Retirement age needs to be pushed back, and wealth taxes need to be introduced to deal with this.
And it’s spreading everywhere!
It’s going to be fun for us Italian younger.
Since the fertility is low, while the elderly population is increasing, the young population is decreasing, it is a fact that something called the population problem will increase in the coming years.
Mallorquins: So it begins.
The comments on this thread. Yikes.
We need another world war !
Late to the party.
*Slaps ~~duct tape~~ African/Turkish immigration on the chart*
There, should fix it. /s
I wonder if the change will be noticeable as all these people switch from saving for retirement to spending that savings. You might imagine a massive sell off of financial instruments as all these people are funding their retirements.
Why is everyone so triggered about this? It’s good for the overall happiness of a society when the people retire at an early age. That means the citizens won’t have to work until they die and actually enjoy their life for some time.
Do you actually think the US has better living conditions?
Do any decent European politicians look past immediate election gains and propose a solution for this future in which we will have a large older generation expecting huge pensions and how to face it economically aside from the repeated need of immigration to sustain it?
This and the population pyramids of most European countries are extremely worrying… hope they will find a way to fix that…
I recognize that strong German graph
I am kind of more concerned by the statistics below the 20-year line. It’s not the massive wave of retirees that is bad. It’s how it compares to the future working population that is bad.
I’m growing up with such a bright future.
Fucked climate.
Fucked demographics.
Social state crumbling away.
Housing market remains a joke.
Why bother anyways, gonna be shit regardless…
Thankfully no more nazis or we might be seeing a wave of encouragement towards involuntary assisted suicide for anybody above 67
