How to combat the "wish elderly" mood?

"I wish the elderly had something to do"

I've built a rest home, but it doesn't seem like anyone uses it. Am I missing a toggle somewhere?

You do have to set the target retirement age for races under their "occupation" section. The default setting is that people never retire. However, I still haven't had anyone get old enough to use my rest home, so I'm not totally sure if it will solve the need to have someone in it. Doesn't seem like the need should show up until there are actually elderly people in your city...

Not sure, but It's dumb to have this complaint when there aren't actually any retired people in your city.

I did see a cretonian with the aspiration to become Retired.

Considering the injury rate of my mining crews, that's probably a good aspiration to hold, live long enough to retire.

I think they also take into account the prospects they'll have once they are retired.
