European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 29, 1977, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 14 the stars and stripes sunday May 29, 1977 youth Unema gym end major worry of future Washington not today s sooth Sayers peering into the final Quarter of this Century see a divergence developing in economic orientation. Analysts Are questioning whether full employment efficiency Freedom Equality and improved Quality of life can still be derived from the free play of a growth Economy. One of the biggest worries is unemployment and underemployment of Young people in this country. Can growth Cope with population dynamics is the country in danger of getting a work Force that is too highly educated what Are the social con sequences some of these questions Are railed in a series of studies on human capital published by the joint economic committee of the Congress. Rep. Richard boiling d to. Chairman of tha committee ordered the studies to get a preview of some of the policy options Congress might have to con Sider a few years hence. Over the last decade the total size of the labor Force and the relative size of the labor Force As a percentage of total Popula Tion have grown remarkably. But As the Economy created new jobs at an unprecedented Pace rates of unemployment also  primary reason millions of women looking for jobs. In 1950 a third of All women of working age were employed now the figure approaches so per cent. The coming of age of people born during the postwar baby Boom has been another Factor in causing unemployment rates to Rise. In i960 there were 3.7 million people aged 16 to 19 in the labor Force. Today there Are nearly 7 million. By 1980 the demographic curve will Peak and new entries into the labor Force will become successively smaller while the labor Force itself becomes increasingly older. In 1970 people under 2s accounted for 23 per cent of the labor Force. By 1990the proportion will have declined to 18 per cent. The number of people reaching retirement age will grow until 1990 and will then contract until those born in the baby Boom Start to retire around 2010. These figures from the Bureau of labor statistics Are not seriously challenged. The questions come in interpreting the social consequences.

An aging population also might adversely affect the housing and automobile industries  slowing the rate of economic growth. On the other hand rates of saving might increase  creating investment capital needed for Job creation and reducing demand for inflationary social services. Those who formed part of the baby Boom might find their initial employment difficulties mirrored in less upward career mobility in their Middle years. And As o Toole speculates when they retire they might find themselves inheriting a bankrupt social Security system and an Economy with Low productivity because of an aged work  is some further sobering conjecture in what forecasters say is an in creased likelihood of greater underemployment o Toole Points out that about 80 per cent of All recent College graduates have taken jobs previously held by people with less education. In 1958 Only 10 per cent of College graduates took Low level jobs. About 35 percent of All workers today complain that their potential is not being  jobs therefore will simply not offer the Challenge or Opportunity that Young people seek. Youths o Toole says will end up being far More dissatisfied with their jobs than their parents  destabilizing effects of population dynamics Are examined More closely by Stephen p. Dresch of the Institute for demographic and economic studies inc., a private foundation in new Haven Conn. With saturation of the High education labor Market already an established fact he says there will be a significant decline in the rate of College entries perhaps As much As 50 per cent Between 1980 and 1990.As opportunities for youths deteriorate there will be a downward shift in the rela t be status of successive generations. Dresch suggests that children born to per sons who entered adulthood in the 1950s and 1960s will experience relatively lower economic status than their parents.
