Youth Age War Forecast For America
A University of Illinois economist predicts a coming class conflict between youth and age due to falling birth rates and longer lifespans. By 1980 one in six Americans will be 65 or older, with voters over 65 rising to about 23 to 25 million. Pension taxes may total a quarter of income, and the aged will increasingly influence politics, potentially creating a generation battle and shifting democracy toward veteran rule.
