A graphic of several countries’ population distribution. The related article points out that while many OECD countries are facing problems because of their aging population, many developing countries are dealing with the opposite. Uganda, for example has 70 percent of the population under 30.

People getting older is not a problem, it’s the goal. This reminds me of economists in the 1970s complaining that the OECD countries had a “problem” with too many people being too well off to accept hard dirty work for poor wages. (the solution of offering better wages was not palatable to their masters)
