Note the teardrop shape currently where most of the population is in the... lets call it "working, adult, productive" age bracket.
In 2060, it will hit peak population, but you'll also note there that the population is now mostly in the 50s rather than 20s. That has significant impacts on governance and social services when the younger people are disproportionately caring for the older generation.
If you look at China - https://www.populationpyramid.net/china/2020/ https://www.populationpyramid.net/china/2020/
You'll note that it is at peak, and declining, and that there is a different shape to the pyramid where there are even fewer people in their 20s and late teens which will be asked to bear an increasing amount of support of the older generation as that graph gets more top-heavy.
Compare this with the US https://www.populationpyramid.net/united-states-of-america/2020/ https://www.populationpyramid.net/united-states-of-america/2... or France https://www.populationpyramid.net/france/2020/ https://www.populationpyramid.net/france/2020/ or Sweden https://www.populationpyramid.net/sweden/2020/ https://www.populationpyramid.net/sweden/2020/ or Canada https://www.populationpyramid.net/canada/2020/ https://www.populationpyramid.net/canada/2020/ and you'll see charts that represent a population that is better able to (in theory) support itself.
