In some, yes.

Europe is no place for young people. Unless they want to be ruled by gerontocracy, fight everincreasing regulation and, pay huge taxes while waiting for the collapse of the (old) system.

Automation can help to substitute some work(ers). There will be opportunities for scarce young "workforce" but unless some shock or surprise happens, you'll be "ruled" by the old majority.

Just to give you an idea. The base case (no surprising development). In 2050, the ratio between actively working and retired in Czech Republic is going to be 2:1. And that's not the only country with this kind of demographics.

(there will be surprises though :) )
