You cannot provide for the aged through a spiral of ever-increasing
population, either. Handling the aged is a matter of raising the
standard of living, and increasing the population is in direct
conflict with this goal.

If you don't control population, eventually everyone will be living in
poverty, and then they will starve. There is no way around this, so
any policy that constantly increases population is doomed.
