Work almost all your life.
No more grandparents taking care of children while parents work, decreasing the number of families that might have children.
Less open positions for young people.
- tcoppi 10y agoYeah, this sounds like a great recipe for a stable economic system and orderly transition to steadier demographics over the next 20-50 years. Edit: An informative graph for the bleak jobs picture for young people this shift is creating in the US: http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/2016/07/03/job%20additions%20total%20by%20age_0.jpg http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/im...

- skewart 10y agoThere can be a lot of psychological, emotional, and health benefits to continuing to work in some capacity throughout old age. It gives people a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives. I'm a long way from retirement but I hope to have the kind of career where I work in at least a lightweight way well into old age (my grandfather didn't stop working completely until he was 93). One thing that would probably help would be much shorter work weeks.
