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?

Because this is concentrating wealth in a very few. Instead of all people benefiting from society’s productivity, a tiny fraction of people hoard all the wealth without actually earning it, and refuse to pay anyone else.

If the world’s governments would step up and make sure prosperity were distributed evenly instead of stolen by a few, this would not be a problem.
