At least Japan and South Korea are going to be hit by more severe problem: They'll have much fewer people to even take those IQ tests.

Not a problem at all. Historically fluctuations in populations are the norm. Japan and South Korea has more than enough productivity to support everybody including the elderly. It is just a matter of distribution.

I agree with you mostly, but they still have to steer through.

Historically we had neither massive population aging nor Ponzi pension systems to worry about. Now we do.
