Groups Increasing
Contrary to th long4ermed trend,
the number of persona in the de
pendent age 8 the very young and
the elderly is now rising faster than
the increase in the working popu
lation. v.-.:;:.:' - :
Estimates compiled by the U. S.
Bureau of the Census forecast a rise
of 7.8 million in the labor force be
tween 1950 and 1960. As against
this, the medium, population projec-
-nns rorQunrANa widely. rzrvrroTa, n. c, et-uy. katsi f7. r
tSons of the Census Bureau anticipate
an increase of 7 million in the num
ber of children under 15 in the period
and of 3.4 million in the 65-and-over
group, v . : f . . . ', . . .;
How, Groups Compare , .',. . 4
The combined rise of , these two
groups in the so-called - dependency
ages, therefore, would be 10.9 mil
lion in the current decade if the fore
casts materialize, or about 3 million
more than the increase in the working
population. If ignis fagureMs added the
estimated increase of 3.2 million be
tween 1950 and 1960 in the teenage
group between 15 and 20, where labor
force participation is usually relatively
low and these days is iar under that
of the past, then the increase in the
dependency ages will fee nearly twice
the rise in the working population, s
'A survey of the records of the past
70 years snows only two decades when
the increase in the working population
if ailed, to top that of the dependency
ages. In the 1940-60 period the net
gams in the two groups were roughly
on a par. Back in the 1910-decade,
the dependency group showed a rise
about a third greater than the increase
in the labor force. M-ut',
The current trend has-a number of
significant implications for 4$he econo
my and. for. the nation as a whole.
For one, it clearly suggests a larger
burden on the working .population in
the years immediately ahead and the
need for more effort, higher efficiency
and increased productivity if the rise
