"The ‘old-age dependency ratio’ demonstrates the proportion of the population aged 65+ relative to the working-age population (15-64)."  By 2050 in the United States and China, the ratio is predicted to be about 39 percent.  Comparatively speaking, this is low: the ratio in Japan is forecast to hit 74 percent, and Korea, 77 percent (link).

Too little care of this! Take physic, pomp;
Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel,
That thou mayst shake the superflux to them,
And show the heavens more just.

--William Shakespeare, King Lear 3, IV
