The precariat.  You are never too old to be one. 

What is the real reason for concern over national and birth decline concerns.  There is no one reason but a cluster of them.

I will be blunt.  Old people are the new 'N' word.  Old people won't get, can't get full time jobs.  And going part-time means your past is irrelevant.  Talent and education means you are toilet trained to get to work on time.  PHD or HS dropout, at 65 how much difference is there?  Can you say "will you be using our mobile app".  That is all that matters, because sucker you got no other options.  The old employee is the new slave.  The new cheap worker.

Employers want cheap workers who show up on time, have a good work ethic and vanish.  Emphasis of course on cheap.  Complaining about a birth rate decline suggests a 'worker crisis'.  Real or not.  Mix in some mumbo-jumbo about work being good for people and voila.  Grandpa should work till he drops.  Society needs him to do it.  And he's a nice guy.  He smiles and gets along.  He'll go fer it.

Any fix except change the stinkin system.  Reorganize thought once again to keep things the same.

Very good video.
