Apocalyptic Demography-

The labelling of older people as a burden to society, also called "catastrophic" or "voodoo: demography. Gee described apocalyptic demography as 'an ideology....a set of beliefs that justifies (or rationalizes) action....wherein the beliefs converge on the idea that an aging population has negative implications for societal resources- which get funneled to the sick, old, and retired at the expense of the healthy, the young, and the working'.
