You’ll need to kill people off at say 70. Healthcare meds increase dramatically when you get older and older, and that means more people needed to care. When the worker:dependence ratio increases you end up with people emigrating or care reducing.

That's where spreading the young population around via migration comes in, but people are racist and can't tolerate that.

In your solution you also wouldn't have to kill people off. They would die naturally due to a lack of healthcare.
