By mid-century, about half of all public and private social spending in rich nations will be directed toward sustaining, treating, or caring for people past working age. I do wonder if people see the kidult society more clearly in this way. The complete collapse of the circle of life, of life stages with specific roles, replaced by everybody living a lifestyle from cradle to grave. Ironically an adolescent culture produces an entire society of geriatrics. And then the culture disappears, with nobody to replace them.
