Top ten most elderly nations on Earth

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

Not a big problem imo, despite everything there's a shortage of housing and young people can't afford the rents, we are well above our ideal population, Scandinavian countries work fine with much lower densities. Regarding the work force issue it's also a false problem, too many people have useless non essential jobs and mechanization, AI and robotization Will render many of those jobs obsolete.

The main problem is that the old people are the electorate of the Socialist Party.

Didn't knew about that correlation between age and vote, I thought that would be more or less the same for all parties with the fringe parties having more young voters and the communist party mostly dinosaurs.

It's the same pretty much everywhere in the west, old people are terrified by changes. They love center right-left parties, who get their supply of socialist solutions from the same dealer, sugarcoated with a flavor or seriousness. Macron got +80% of his vote with the +65y old, and it keeps on increasing past 70y old, that's dictator level.

I thought it was the opposite: the older you are the more likely you are to be right-wing?

Pensioners will always vote on whoever promises to sustain the nanny state at any cost (socialists).

Depends. In this country, the Tory vote is far more elderly than that of most other parties, in part because their pensions are indeed vigorously protected, but also because the Tories are less likely (for good and for ill) to introduce heavy income, inheritance and property taxes than are the other parties.

Same thing here, old people vote PRD or Panameñista Party and would vote by former president Martin Torrijos that introduce higher discount to Social Security in the past for pension. Young people some vote Progressive but majority to the populist center of Realizando Metas and Ricardo Martinelli
