China will be interesting to watch as their one child policy along with sex selection means they will hit this problem well before other nations and given their size are likely unable to fix it with immigration like we can.

Japan is ahead of China on the aging curve, as are S Korea and Taiwan. But they reached mass prosperity before demographics became a big problem. Much of Chinas is still quite poor, and they barely have a pension system. So demographic decline will be even more painful for them.
