@tszzl @arapirilous I feel like this is exaggerated when you consider that children are also dependents and we now have less of them to care for...

A line chart titled 'US Dependency Ratios' showing historical and projected trends for total, child, and old-age dependency ratios from 1950 to 2050. A vertical dashed line at 2010 separates the 'Actual' data from the 'Projected' data, with the old-age ratio rising sharply in the projection while the child ratio declines.
