I’m more talking about material conditions. Older people need more and produce less and if you’re a young person today you have more older people to support than ever before. On top of that a growing older population is a growing population with a vested interest in not changing society. My rhetorical question is deliberately inflammatory but I do honestly think that the average lifespan has grown faster than our society’s ability to adapt to an ageing population and young people will be the ones most impacted.
