问题     Although the size of the workforce depends a great deal on the size of the total population, there are several other influences which also affect it. The age distribution of the total population has a very【21】effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high【22】of very young people or of【23】too old to work, then the available workforce would be lower than【24】there were an【25】spread age distribution. If the population grows raidly【26】natural increase, i.e., the number of births greatly【27】the number of deaths, then as a total population increases the proportion of the workforce【28】.
    Sometimes a population is described as aging,【29】means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly, and as people retire【30】the workforce there are insufficient numbers of young people entering it to【31】those who are leaving it. The population is top heavy with older people. So the【32】of the population in the workforce declines when there is【33】a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate.
    The age distribution of the population has several important effects on the economy. If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring【34】a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce, this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a【35】level of social services to the retired group. If the【36】are to be cared【37】in special homes or hotels, finance must be【38】for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative【39】the total population, then the government tax receipts are relatively low and either the government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be【40】more heavily.
