Q. is the rising proportion of pensioners (those over 65 years old) really a 'crisis' or merely a demographic change that economic strategy needs to find a way of navigating successfully & humanely?
We should see this as a success for health care & shifts in the way we live, work & eat; it is certainly a challenge if societies shift towards a larger group who have moved beyond their working lives successfully.
But framing this as a 'crisis' tends to demonise the old!
