If jobs are “lost” because robots are doing more work, why is it a problem that the population is aging and there are fewer in “working age”? Shouldn’t the two effects sort of cancel each other out?

Robots are only able to do simple jobs on their own like assembly line jobs but we’re decades out from having a replacement for skilled workers. What most people are referring to is the massive shortage of skilled trades workers in field like brick laying & masonry that’s going to come in the next few years as half the workforce ages into retirement without enough replacements.
