Basically, if people all started dropping dead at age 65, population decline would be such a big problem (though it would still be a problem with the low birthrate). As it is, we're going to have a very large portion of the population that's elderly and not working, while drawing from pensions or social assistance funds, and many of them also needing a lot of medical and/or hospice care too.
