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?

The issue is that productivity will go up, and actually jobs will not decrease, they’ll likely increase over time. They were just talking about this on NPR, and for over a century there has been fear that machines will make our jobs obsolete. They will, but new jobs are always created, and if you ever have general AI that can work better than any human and perform specific tasks only humans can better and cheaper, sure all jobs will likely go away. But then you’ll either get robot apocalypse or utopia.
