Yes technology does get better, but what happens when half your population is now loaded with old people who take up Hospitals/Long Term Homes?

On top of the fact retired people don't work anymore, so their existence will require they drain the welfare state while not contributing anything back in taxes.

We need technology to develop faster if we want to avoid a total implosion scenario. Such as getting more trained Doctors/Nurses into these facilities instead of leaving behind a shortage where no one gets medical care.

Edit: By the way, I'm not one of those liberals who think the only solution is mass immigration. That just creates a whole other problem down the line or even makes it worse. But no one having babies anymore like in South Korea is just as much an extinction scenario waiting to happen.
