The US isn’t immune to this, merely better placed. Projections are that the US will move from 3 workers per retiree to 2 workers per retiree by 2050. (You can project these things pretty well as the new generation is already born.)

You can project, but also respond; nation of immigrants and all that.

That’s included in the projection.

Also there are fewer young people in the rest of the world, the birth rate has declined worldwide.
