Economies are dynamic systems
and will call forth the response needed. The dependency ratio has risen for a long time and I expect it to continue to do so. If there is need for people to work longer, there will be greater demand for their services and they will find it attractive to delay their retirements; if not, they won't. Any problem we face is small compared to Japan, Europe, and even China. Fortunately investment returns are set on the margin, so as long as there are emerging and developing markets and productivity innovation, returns will be higher than those of a static or declining economy.
