Based on the 2006 life expectancy of 77.9 years, if a person enters the workforce at age 25 and retires at 60, it amounts to them contributing 35 years of labor versus 40-plus years spent inactive and thus reliant on the others.
以 2006 年台灣人平均壽命 77.9 歲為基準，如果從 25 歲投入職場，到 60 歲屆齡退出，一生只有 35 年在工作，其餘四十多年的漫長歲月算是非勞動人口，必須仰賴他人撫養。
