You would actually have a problem if life extension is outside of the scope of workforce participation, regardless of the source. That issue would make life extension elitist, and it would ultimately devolve into feudalistic fascism. Democracy requires a fundamental measure of egalitarianism. Life extension is essentially a new race of humans. That would reset the social evolution to such a degree we’d probably need a millennium to get it sorted.
The Commonwealth book series by Peter F. Hamilton addresses exactly that. For the “lower castes”, or the “recent born”, it’s basically close to eternal hell.

I mean all the west is already pro young death, so the insurance companies could pocket the retirement and healthcare funds. Places like Kkklanada even actively promote assisted death.
yup
