RETIREMENT RATIO
07/09/2025 |
The average age of the US population is 40. In 1970, it was 28, in 1980 it was 30, and in 2020 it was 38. When your workforce stagnates while your retiree population explodes, problems ensue. Currently, there are slightly over two people in the prime working-age labor force to support every retiree. By 2035, the dependency ratio will be 1.8. Entitlements, unless soon dealt with, will fiscally swamp us.
