It makes sense that societies in which identity is built around working for capitalists would have more trouble with Old Age than societies in which identity (a) is not as much a thing, cf Gelassenheit, and (b) is, no matter one's age, directed towards accumulation "where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt".
From the other contrasting direction, cf Brave New World, in which Old Age simply does not exist.
