There's countless ways compensate for this gap, some of which are regulatory, others merely obvious (like the lack of a multi-trillion AI bubble in the future), the assumption that technological progress continues as modern levels (ie "same quality of life") with the changes that may entail. Ofc, the demographic shift (as you mentioned) changes what "quality of life" even means, making it even less deterministic.
