| Book Description | When congress enacted social secuirty in 1935 with the age of retirement set at age 65 average life expectancy was 62 years by the time medicare was enacted 30 years later life expectancy had risen to age 70 since the enactment of medicare life expectancy has risen to age 76 today and may be expected to increase further in the decades to come clearly the increase in postretirement life expectancy has significant implications for the level of national expenditures attributable to an aging population one of the approaches suggested as a solution to the socalled income transfer problem is to redefine old age that is to push retirement and its associated benefits off to a later age this would effectively increase the size of the workforce with older workers continuing to contribute their payroll taxes for an extended period of time the critical question sicker poses is will there be enough appropriate employment opportunities for a growing number of older workers in the workforce of the future |
