Without a doubt, societies can reap more benefits from older people's contributions than they did in previous generations. At the same time. This demographic transition changes everything, including how nations navigate work and retirement. On average, Americans live much longer and healthier lives than they did 50 years ago and substantially longer than when social security was created in the 1930s. Many policymakers and academics think it's logical almost inevitable that Americans will spend more of these years in the paid labor force.
