Gain In American Life Span Major Economic Importance Underlying . the growth in our material prosperity and the rise in our living standards over the years, and to a large extent responsible for them, is the extraordinary in- crease in the average life span that has occurred in the United States since the turn of tbe century. An analysis of this trend and its economic implications are contained in a recent study made by the U. S, Bureau of Labor Statistics of the changing length of the working life since 1900. What is particularly significant from the long view is that a long er working life span resulting from increased longevity and steadily rising production per man-hour have gone hand in hand. The com binauon of these two plus our alertness to the importance of tech noloptcal change ' and tremendous investments in new plant and equipment, are the key to the abili ty of the American economy to meet production challenges of war and peace and to fill the steadily rising demands for goods and ser vices of a rapidly expanding popu J38:.-:.::S!t:.::::':y ii r;' fix ' i lation. - Trends in Life Span Right now the average length of life for a male child at birth is around 66 years, more than a third greater than it was in 1900. The increase . for succeeding ages is smaller, since .the major reductions in mortality in the last half cen tury have occurred among . infants and small children, but it is none theless substantial.' A'youth of 20, for example, has a life expectancy these days-some six years greater than his. counterpart in 1900.! The life expectancy gain for women has been ever greater, according to Dr. Louis I. Dublin,' consultant on health and welfare for the Insti tute of Life Insurance, a develop ment of particular economic im portance in view of the rising pro portion of women in the labor force over the years.' This increase in the life expec tation, according to the BLS, has translated itself into three funda mntal differences from the turn of the century as far as the average individual is concerned. First, the working life begins substantially later now than it did then. The ivetage American male at foresBt' doesot" eiiter the labor force until he is between his 18th and. 19th' years. ' By contrast, more than one out tf every five boys between the age's of 10 and 15 were workers in-1900. :" ; i ' Relationship to Production Second,! the'! average work ? life duration is very much greater 'than it was atrthe turn of the century "4even thougff' the 'working , career starts so ,-imich later. Work-life expectancy for a male at birth is up from 32 to 5(2 years in the last half century, a spectacular increase. Even at age 20, a youth today has a- work-life ; expectancy of more 43 years as -compared, with little more, than 39 years in 1900. Gains of this magnitude translate them selves 'into vast increases in pro- 4 duction over the course of a work ing life as compared with the 'past, "particularly in view'-of the "produc tivity gains in the period and the rising skill of the' working popula tion. " S " Third, the average American. maTe' can anticipate a substantially longer period of ' retirement ' than his counterpart' in 1900.' Fifty years ago, in fact, there was 'very little difference. on the average be tween a man's- working -life span and his total life span. For' those who survived, the period spent in retirement averaged less than three years. Today, however, even with the later entry into the labor force and longer working life, the aver age man has the prospect of en joying nearly six years in retire ment And. based on BLS esti mates, this retirement prospect will increase to nearly nine years in the year 2000.

Dnb- au of ma census iigures snow mac uie "dependency" groups in the popula lion, those under 20 and the group 65 and over, have been showing a substantially greater rate ' of (irowth in recent years than has the working population.
