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?

Jobs being automated isn’t a problem; it’s wonderful. It advances productivity and frees people from unfulfilling drudgery. The problem is that we’ve set up our economy such that humans need to spend their days in menial labour in order to survive. There are simple solutions that only require willingness. Not enough menial labour to go around is a helluva backwards way of thinking that we’ve trapped ourselves in.
