>
> * Over the next 20 years, the number of senior citizens relative
> to the number of working-age Americans will increase by 67 percent.
>
> * This means that more and more retirees "will transition from
> being net taxpayers to net recipients of health and pension benefits,
> and they will be supported by a smaller workforce that is struggling
> to
> meet its own needs."
> * These "mass retirements" will not only strain the Social
> Security and Medicare programs, but will also drive labor-force growth
> "perilously low - perhaps below zero in many states - which will depress
> economic growth as a whole."
> * Moreover, "seniors are also net home sellers, and accordingly,
> there will be 67 percent more people in the selling ages relative to
> the
> younger adults who are likely to be buyers. Thus the mass sell-off
> launched by aging poses a great hazard for all home sellers and their
> home values in the two decades ahead."
>
> The aging of the native-born population will leave the U.S. economy
> short on workers and taxpayers just when more workers and taxpayers are
> needed to support the increasing number of retiring Baby Boomers.
> Immigrants can help fill this gap. And, as the IPC points out in a
