This was my understanding as well. People under 55 have extremely high labor participation, but a LOT of people retired.
Do you have a citation for this information? I was looking the other day and was unable to find the right search terms.
- munk-a 5y agoThis is in Canada but my spouse (aged 55) has scaled back their workweek to three days. I think the 40 hour grind (lets face it - almost nobody works 9-5 anymore, paid lunches are a thing that most companies have jettisoned) wears folks down and once you hit your middle years your priorities really shift. Providing a healthier work schedule is really to everyone's benefit now.
