If ever fewer young and able people have to take care of ever more elderly, it won’t have a good outcome.

It takes fewer resources to care for elderly than raise children. Not raising a child means there's a surplus to care for the elderly. Then the elderly die leaving more surplus behind. It's not only a theoretical based on money but we have all of history that shows this truth. For example WW2 killed the most productive members of society leaving only the elderly to be cared for. The result was a global economic boom.
