Abstract
There are three major themes that this paper will attempt to show. First, it will show how the effects of the age of a workforce can have an impact on a nation’s productivity and growth. Then, by analyzing the effect of life expectancy on productivity, and forecasts of the age of countries, it will show how the age of a workforce is changing and how some countries are aging faster than some others and will continue to do so over the next 35 years. Lastly, it will show how a nation’s pension system can have an effect on workers and their productivity, and demonstrate how the design of a pension system can differ by country.
