The former phenomenon is due to gradually declining birth rates and the latter phenomenon reflects a trend for workers to retire later and for women workers to return to the workforce in growing numbers after their children have gone to school, or left home. So the average "age" of the workers, arithmetically, increases.
This creates some dilemmas for policy-makers. For a long time, governments were encouraging early retirement, on the rationale that retiring early would create room for younger people entering the workforce. Now they worry about the implications for public finances, and how the workforce would be able to pay for aged care without raising taxes.

Increasing life expectancy reflects falling deaths from disease and accidents, but it does not make postponing retirement any easier for workers whose bodies, for work-related purposes, are worn out by the time they hit their mid-60s. Some have been in low-paid jobs. This makes an argument for easier access to disability pensions, but the trend has been in the opposite direction, in order to reduce public spending.
