These have【C9】______stopped.
Older workers are healthier than they used to be and work is less【C10】______demanding. They are also more【C11】______to employers than prior generations. Today’s 55- to 64-year-olds -belong to the post-war baby-boomers who benefited from better education than their【C12】______.
