Finland's age pyramid from 1900 to 2060. You can understand why this is a real issue that we have a lot of people not in the the workforce AND needing care. Finland is not alone in this regard, but I believe that our population is "aging most rapidly" in the European Union.
Am I the only one that sees nothing wrong with that age pyramid. It tells me that population is more or less stable.

There's something wrong with it if you compare its shape with that of the 1900-1950s. Nations' social security systems (pensions, healthcare) were built for the old shape, where a small contribution from a large number of working-age people will be enough to support a small number of elderly people. When a nation's demographics changes so there as many people retired as there are of working age, something's got to change.
