I feel like we're going in a circle here now.

I mean, are we just talking about a hypotehtical here now? 

It's like your asking "Is global cooling a good thing" when it's been pretty well established global cooling isn't occuring.

Though i do know that Labor Force Pariticpation has shrunk since the financial crisis.


The intial post was about a general state of reality, where advantages can compound and asked if that is a good thing.  It does happen.  It doesn't mean it happens all the time, or things can't be done to counter it.

In regards to labor force participation, when I looked it up, I saw it has been declining for over a decade now.  That is bound to continue to happen as the baby boomers retire.  If it doesn't happen, that is a sign people aren't retiring.    What will be needed to be found is if people want to retire aren't able to, but also can't find work, for whatever reason.
