Yeah, but that's only a problem if elderly orderlies is an underpaid job that no one wants, and if people can't afford to live on it when choosing such a profession.

If the economy adjusts or society adjusts such that caring for the elderly is a highly sought out and secure job that can easily pay a mortgage, what's the issue?

This is what I mean when I say they will crash and their economy will adjust.

Under the current system. All retirement vehicles dependent on the investment market will crash horribly. Anyone with retirement funds in such a crash is doomed. Which will force a reset and a switch to a new financial system (see: Turkey's various resets over the last 50 years, or Greece in the last 10). Money will be lost. The system will reset, re-valuate the demand for such services, and people will be paid in a new currency to plug the supply.

Or you reset the currency, like Turkey has done many times before no? You swear off your debts, print new money.
