Germany now has 20 million retirees that just got a raise of 3.5%-4.5% in their pensions . Already 1/4 of the population expects to be paid by a dwindling and ageing workforce. Before long 1 adult will have to pay for 4 retirees (in Denmark). This isn't a problem that will lead to military conflict necessarily, but (almost) for sure to a collapse of social safety nets by mid century.
