Take industry colossus China Steel Corporation as an example. Today the average worker age has crept up to 48.3 years old, and the stalwart workers who realized Chiang Ching-kuo's Ten Major Construction Projects are gradually entering the ranks of the retired.
以龍頭鋼鐵廠中鋼公司為例，目前千名員工平均年齡已達 48.3 歲，當年投入 10 大建設、擁有一身本領的大量幹才，如今陸續屆齡退休；預計再過兩年，民國 100 年時，中鋼約有 1,200 名員工退休，100 ∼ 106 年更進入 4,000 人的退休潮高峰期。
