China is going to have plenty of demographic issues of its own. One-child led to a demographic bulge.

Other countries with huge youth populations (Egypt, Iran, Oman) seem to have difficulty with it due to lack of productive economic activity for them, too.

It seems as though many non-North American countries have much in common with Canada, especially in health care. Why do you think that this article only applies to North America?

Well, at the moment it doesn't seem to apply to where I live (Russia) - the set of problems is just so different. Not that there are many good things going on here, but anyway:

We have an unique, first time in a few centuries, moment when we can sit in the back row and enjoy the entertainment.
