The robots better be coming: Old age dependency ratios (1950 – 2075) USA, UK, France, Germany and Japan

I hope the robots have taken over by 2050 because there won’t be enough working age people left to pay the taxes to pay old-age pensions.

What is scarier is maybe hopefully the robots will have arrived to take over by 2025. Even 10 years from now there aren’t that many working age people to pay the taxes to fund old-age pensions. The Japanese and Germans in particular will be praying for robots to become taxpayers as quickly as possible.

They certainly don’t go much for cohabiting in Italy or indeed the USA among young adults. Cohabitation is pretty much the same everywhere else. Marriage is not so common in Sweden generally among young people.

How common is marriage in two-parent households, selected OECD countries

Living in sin is much more popular in some countries. The French and Scandinavians are really big on not bothering to marry but live together and raise children.

Data on the number of two-parent households who were married or not was not available for the USA, Australia or New Zealand, unfortunately.
