The generations that have followed represent a smaller share of the overall population. Thus as boomers age, the overall workforce will shrink. "Without an unexpected burst of productivity growth or a significant upsurge in investment per worker, the aging boomers' reduced levels of working and spending will slow the real growth of the U.S. GDP from an average of 3.2% a year since 1965 to about 2.4% over the next three decades," says the MGI report...
