Pay and productivity, it is generally assumed, should be related. But the relationship seems to weaken【C1】______people get older.
Mental ability declines【C2】______age. That is the same for the brainy and the dim—and not【C3】______for humans: it is measurable even【C4】______fruit flies.【C5】______ minds that keep lively will suffer less than the lazy. In general, the more education you have, the more productive your old【C6】______will be.
Some【C7】______decline faster than others. According to most studies, people’s numerical and reasoning abilities are【C8】______their best in their 20s and early 30s.【C9】______ abilities—those that depend on knowledge—may improve with age.

Academics notice this. It is less clear that employers do. Studies of supervisors’ ratings show no clear correlation【C12】______age and perceived productivity. When other employees’ views are【C13】______into account though, the picture changes: these ratings suggest that workers in their 30s are the【C14】______productive and hardworking, 【C15】______scores falling thereafter.

Intellectual occupations are harder to measure, but the picture is the same. Academics seem to publish【C19】______ as they age. Painters, musicians and writers show the same tendency. Their output peaks in their 30s and 40s. The only【C20】______is female writers, who are most productive in their 50 s.
