The issue is old people vote. If they are a majority, they’ll elect people who manage society for the short term. Of course this phenomenon of short term governance isn’t limited to the population pyramid. One of the manifestations of the phenomenon of representatives working for the old generation where I live is housing. You see old people living in big houses for free, while the younger generation only has shared housing for crazy prices as a solution. Also with mobility: this old generation won’t let go of their cars although they move around only for leisure, but the city has become too dense for car-centric mobility. The elders don’t care, as they stay at home during peak hour.
