That's not all together true. Your old people do contribute to your economy. If you take the time to observe a few of them you'll note that they pay rent, visit pubs, restaurants, and clubs. All of this contributes to the economy, and when you play a scenario that requires a high happiness rating, you'll find their contribution to society here too. Don't underestimate their value.
