For those of you interested, here are the graphs for Japan, USA, Italy and China where you can see the age dependency with the breakdown of young people in blue and old people in red. The people who were once in the blue band only appear in the red one 50 years later. The thickness of the red in Italy for example is why very few people in places in Italy hope to ever get a government pension. In the next 20 years we'll see a massive inheritance wealth transfer from boomers to their kids, if that gets passed on directly to the grand children it might allow for a baby boom again. #Data is beautiful https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/age-dependency-breakdown?country=JPN~USA~ITA~CHN
