Healthcare services are stretched more because older people need more medical care.
People will need to spend more time working as unpaid carers for older family members. This means the working population will have less leisure time and are more stressed and worried.
People may have less children because they can't afford lots of children due to their dependent, older relatives. This leads to a drop in birth rate.
The more old people there are, the lower the pension provided by the government will be. People will have to retire later as they can't afford to live on a state pension.
