Ex-pat Australian - maybe Australia is slightly less worse off than Germany when it comes to an aging population.
Quick Googling suggests Australia’s +65 year old population is expected to be about 25% by the 2050s [1] while Wiki suggests Germany in about the same period is expected to be about 37/38% [2]. It’s something that has been discussed in Australia for decades but the country still seems to be less impacted than Germany and some other European countries right now.
