Unemployment figures are low? So lots of older people?

Yes, don't forget that Mutterschutz and Elternzeit are considered "employed", so new parents aren't the cause and most mothers are employed.

Also consider that most people retire before 65 and start working after 15.

In about 5 years, it'll catastrophic. Those big arms sticking out will disappear into retirement, all at once.

Even with full employment and continued mass migration, the working would be a minority.

Here is the "most hopeful" scenario, where we kill off the old people, have a baby boom and import 400k people every year.

Oh, “kill off the old”

Laeserin 2y ago

Yes, this scenario requires people to die 4 years younger, on average, then they currently do.

Would also quickly solve the housing crisis. 🥴

And why old people being unable to afford electricity and food is a feature, not a bug.

And why euthenasia is actively promoted.
