One way of implementing a policy that reduces welfare for the elderly is to gradually increase the age at which people become eligible for certain benefits, such as higher value discounts and subsidies. This gradual increase in eligibility age would slowly reduce the number of people who receive maximum benefits designed for those over a certain age. In this way, younger generations are given more resources while older generations are tapered off their entitlements.

One possible approach to reducing welfare for the elderly in a way that is both humane and fair is to introduce a graduated pension scheme. This would involve providing a base level of pensions, plus an additional amount that increases with longevity, so that those who live longer receive higher pensions and are not impoverished later in life. This allows society to provide financial support for those who need it without unfairly punishing those who live longer or rewarding people for dying sooner.
 
An additional consideration is to also increase incentives for older people to remain productive, either through voluntary work or by starting their own business or initiative, instead of simply relying on benefits. Providing support networks and other resources which can help the elderly contribute to society can also be beneficial.

By taking these steps we can ensure that our policies towards elderly citizens are fair and considerate while also reallocationing more resources to the young generation that will one day be responsible for carrying society forward.
