There may be less competition for jobs but when you're elderly there's more competition for people to take care of you.

Old people have resources, though, so NBD. Reasonable societal arrangements should favor new families at the expense of old folks.
Old people often don't use that many resources either at least while they are in good health. Most of the costs are associated with the last year or two of life. SO that expense is already committed to when they born.
