It is unlikely because productive people tend also to have some amount of foresight. Enough to know that they will also be old one day.

Process of what?

Guess what they will see with that foresight when there are several times more old people who take away most of their earned through sweat and blood resources?

Social reorganization

What, what will they see? "That's going to be me one day", or "we need to reorganize this so that I die in poverty"?

But take away sounds unfair, and if you're talking about fairness, then fair enough. I can't argue with fairness, until you reveal what the idea is in detail.

Oh, but I'm not thinking this through: there are of course fewer young people, and if they started reproducing a lot then they'd get to neglect the elders now and be looked after when they're older. Perhaps that's the plan. I guess that explains "the world they have created" too: they didn't create enough young people, you mean.
