That's WHAT I WROTE.

(So your first post was incorrect. There were *not* "more people working in 1970" than now. But the employment participation rate has fallen a couple of points since 1950 for men actually... while the SIZE of the total population has surged.)

Part of the decades long drop in the participation rate is the aging of the population. People live longer, so there are more retired people alive.

Wouldn't be surprise, somewhere down the road, our government reduces the Social Security benefits for those with certain income brackets on a sliding scale and the Tax Shelter on Roth's at maturity.
