That's not a problem, that's the purpose of the current economical and political order in industrialized nations, whether they are capitalist, communist or mixed.

After all the horrors of the 20th century, including both world wars, it is not as easy anymore to trick the youth of the world to die on the battlefields, so the rulers have to device other means to get rid of the younger generations.
