Drdnn0fic Changes
In SfdRus Of
Notions Aged

Washington (ANP) - The po-
tential voting power Of Americas
senior citizens has almost doubled
over the last four decades. This
development is one Of the facts
cited in a staff report released
last week by the US. Senate Spec
ial Committee on Aging, with SEN
'ator Pat Mcnamara 3D., Mich.
chairman. ~
This finding represents only
one of the quiet revolutions in
the status of the aged" said STAFF
Director Harold L. Sheppard in q
review of the Committees staff
study, New Population Facts on
Older Americans, 1860.
Fewer Aged Workers
The public may also be surpris-
ed to learn from the latest Census
statistics how drastically the prop
ortion Of the aged in the labor
force has declined" sheppard said.
In 1920, one-third Of the aged
were employed. Today, only q fifth
Of the aged are employed"
Some Of the major conclusions
of the study are:
1. Between 1920 and 1850, the
number of persons over IS years Of
age increased 2S6 percent, those
over rs increased an "extraordin-
airy" 279 percent, and those over
IS increased a phenomenal" 92O
percent. AS Of 1860, there were
nearly / million Americans IS and
older.
2. Persons born In 1870 could
expect to live an average Of SAL
years. BY 1869, however, life ex-
pectancy had risen to 6s.7 years
Increase In Number OF Women
Over IS
8. The number Of widowed, div
orced and single women over tn.
age Of IS has increased 40 per
cent in the past decade alone unit
they now number ST. million per
sons. Aged men in the same cate
gories have shown hardly any In
crease at alp in absolute or rela
tive numbers.
4. The potential voting power Of
the aged has nearly doubled in n
yearA In 1920. only 81 perceni
of the voting age population wal
over IS years Of age, as compares
with 1874 percent today
8. In $4,000, almost 200, 0OC
persons a year reached the ag'
Of e5. This rate Is 80 percent high
err than In 1910 In the 1960-eC
decade, the average annual net in.
crease In numbers Of aged wa
more than $4,000.
Q. The aged population In expect
ed to more than double In the next
20 years.
Z. Social problems accompanying
the growth Of aged population have
fallen unevenly ON the States. In
the past decade, Florida's aged
population expanded ls2.9 percent
Arizona's 1883 percent, while thu
national average Increase was S4.I
percent.
8. California had the largest In
crease IN terms Of numbera. 4so.-
900. and New York second. with
40. 900.
