Labor Force Nonparticipation of Older People: United States, 1890-1970.

Graney, Marshall J.; Cottam, Doris M.

Gerontologist, v21 n2 p138-41 Apr 1981

Analysis of U.S. census data provides evidence that decreased labor force participation of older people, 1980 to 1970, was due to the disproportionate growth in numbers of persons aged 65 or older and the growing economic dominance of industries that provide relatively few opportunities for older people's participation.
