Yes, the dependency ratio will spike, and the demographic pyramid will become an increasingly unstable structure. Our current way of life with its dopaminergic entertainment and frantic rat races will acquire increasingly dusty, morbid connotations in the eyes of the future generations which will have to bear, as you say, "a whole host of problems". Yes, it won't be pretty.
