Overpopulation stories are losing plausibility as birth rates drop.

I glanced at a sci fi library book once, probably British,
where a bus comes for you when you're 65. In reality,
that was male national pension age for a long while.

<https://www.comedy.co.uk/radio/paradise_lost_in_cyberspace/> -
by the writer of _Paradise Lost in Space_, a separate work
whose title made more sense - cuts you off at 70.

And if I understood correctly, in _Brave New World_
(1932) if you aren't fit to work then they give you
enough "soma" to keep you happy as you die.
Usually at around 60.
