Japan has the oldest population in the world, with a declining labor force and shrinking economy. Is the United States going the way of Japan?
As a matter of fact, the entire world population is rapidly aging, with Japan the oldest; one-fourth of its population is 65-plus, followed by Italy, Germany and other European nations, according to Paul Hewitt, former deputy commissioner for policy at the Social Security Administration.
