Unfortunately, under the current system, pensions are funded retroactively (?) by the next generation, so a falling birthrate means the bottom falls out of the system and there's no money to pay for the elderly anymore (hence why they increase retirement age to offset it). It's not a good system, obviously, but it's easier to manage than the alternative...
