DescriptionSocial Security Worker to Beneficiary Ratio.png
English: Social Security - Ratio of workers to beneficiaries
Explanation
The ratio of covered workers (those who pay into the program and will receive benefits) to beneficiaries (those receiving payments) continues to decline as America ages and fertility rates decline.[1] This chart concept was drawn from a slide by the Concord Coalition. An article in The Economist in April 2011 had the overall "support ratio" (the ratio of working age people to those beyond retirement age) at 5.3 in 1970, 4.6 in 2010 and 2.6 in 2050. This decline is happening all over the developed world.[2]
