Thanks to everybody, especially to Peter.

TO: Peter Perkins.
I tried the boxplots and the paired histograms and i concluded that the monte carlo simulation with subsampling (or rewriting the KS2 to adjust  it to a cdf-type input, which TMW may consider in future release :) ) won't be worth the effort for my specific case, since 99% of the pairs (population age distribution vs sample age distribution) confirm that the sample isn't drawn from the pop. 
Thank you again for the very useful insights!
