It’s not about higher population. It’s about not having a lopsided demographics. Spend some time in front of a whiteboard, imaginary or actual:
- Less working age people
- More old people
- More geriatric people
This is the transition which you skip over before you get to the fewer but better-off people. (Better-off? Well I have retiring at 72 years of age or later to look forward to, compared to something like 65 for my father.)
