Sounds like you are discussing the demographic pyramid. 100 years ago, life expectancy was roughly 40 years. Death cleared out the old.

I think that is a misunderstanding of life expectancy. Death didn't clear out the old 100 years ago, it was infant and child mortality that pulled the average down.
