"younger" and "older" each are modifying "people" so they are being used as adjectives, but when you put "the younger" and "the older" I believe it is using them as a noun since then you are referring to the entire group. Sort of like Pepsi's tag line "the new generation".

1000SC is a banned source because it illegally uses copyrighted problems without permission. (And, even if it didn't, we'd ban it anyway - a lot of the problems in the set are fine, but there are a number of bad ones that can actually mess up your study if you use them!)
