It is because young people are leaving the state .. earlier it was after graduation and destination was the Gulf but now 8 out of 10 students go the study abroad or other states after 12th and choose the settle there which leaves only the old people back in the state

Its not like that, Kerala has the highest life expectancy in India. Due to that higher number of elderly people. Also due to heavy migration, most youngsters are all out of the country.
