In the next 10 to 15 years, tech is going to have a lot of millennial who reach 50+. We'll have a similar challenge in the US where tech culture leans towards hyping youth, and the new reality.

Luckily, there’s going to be a lot less youth (compressing demographic pyramid), forcing businesses to accommodate older workers if they want labor.
nah, they'll just continue moving it offshore.
I have bad news about the demographic pyramid of nearly every country...
Africa exists.
Well, I have bad news about the technological preparedness and infrastracture of almost all African countries.

Except if you mean outside IT hires.

If the AI progress in the next 10 to 15 years will be like the AI progress in the last 10 to 15 years, tech culture will no longer hype youth anyway, or human employees in general.
It won't be the progress in AI, but the ever increasing human tolerance to bugs and shitty software, hardware and products in general. This is what will enable AI to thrive.
With companies backpedaling on self checkout, I think the no human employees future is unlikely.
