ers' association estimated on the
basis of answers to a questionable
that 80 per cent of the nations 8

of plants runs from 25 to 20 years
for unskilled and IS to 20 for skilled,

Many big plants. according to this

limit. but made physical ability the
basis rather than age.
Twentyone per cent of the manu-.

increased cost of their pension sys-

as a reason the tendency of older
employees to slow up. Fourteen per
