> 1. Retirement ages have generally been increasing over the period which should offset this. It won't because you're adding like 5 years of work from a cohort that amounts to around 3% of the total population, while at the same time you're already missing at least double that from the deficit of births in the 90s and it's only going to get worse. > 2.

Children aren't "full time for the rest of your life" labour intensive - I should know since I'm a parent. > 4. What nation has anywhere near zero employment?
