Boy are we up shit creek.
One thing the government could do is ensure that people who hit retirement age are not forced to retire. That would help a little towards restoring the balance.

It won’t solve the problem of course, but it would certainly help. Some people are willing and capable of carrying on well after retirement age - look at Rupert Murdoch and David Attenborough, for example.

But not everyone is able to do so because their employers like to invest in younger people.
