Abstract
It is a world-wide phenomenon that the proportion of young people is progressively decreasing, and the intermediate age group of working people remains virtually unchanged, while the number of persons over 65 years of age continues to increase. According to the Federal Bureau of Social Insurance, it may be expected that by the year 2000 there will be more than one million persons over the age of 65 in Switzerland, in a total population of somewhat over 5 million.
