the age of 60.any have low educational attainment. two-thirds have a high school diploma and although a third did not complete high school. when we think about trying to find work for folks in this changing technology-based, skill-based economy we have to keep in mind what the characteristics of people receiving benefits of. can they work and become self-supporting? ssdi beneficiaries should be given every service support and encouragement to go to work. as i've got through the reasons why it's unlikely that a large percentage have the capacity for ongoing work at a significant level. ssdi does not present a disincentive to work. the benefits are modest. it's $1,100 per month. in february of 2012, and that is more than 10% less than a person working full time at a low age. it's a modest benefit. doesn't need reform. ssdi is functioning as it should. it provides vital wage replacement to millions with disabilities and their families who need it. more must be done to stay at work to it acquire a disab

virtue of the fact that ages 62 up to the normal retirement age, disability benefit becomes a little bit more attractive financially as to taking the retirement benefit and that off sets, but the fact of raising the retirement age is clearly significant savings. >> as opposed to the way the benefit for retirement? >> there is certainly that. the administrative costs for disability benefits are higher than for term because of the work that has to be done in making determination, so there is some regard. >> there are discussions about not just increasing retirement age, but over 62, i think there's been a lot of concern about that precisely because of people with disabilities, not so much that they're going to end up on ssdi and in fact, some people would suggest maybe we need to make it easier to get on ssdi if that were to happen. but because there are many people who experience medical problems in their 50s, 60s, that continue to work and they're using early retirement benefits. because they really -- continuing to work. i think that ssdi, someone who's not, i think one of the impor

starting in 2023 and ending in 2029, we will gradually increase the age of eligibility, from 65 to 67. this gradual approach will enable younger canadians to plan ahead with confidence. we will also make the program more flexible for those approaching retirement. as of july 1, 2013, canadians who prefer to keep working will be given the option to defer the start of benefits. this voluntary option will enable them to receive higher benefits as a result. beyond this, we will also ensure that government employee pension plans are sustainable and financially responsible. financially responsible. we will adjust these pension plans to be more in line with those available to canadians working in the private sector. we will also increase the cost- share ratio for the pension plan for members of parliament and senators, effective january 1, 2013. our government has already announced increases in transfers to the provinces, to put health care funding on a stable, sustainable path for the long term. term. together with our adjustments to old age security, we are ensuring that these crucial progr

they wanted to bring greater parity between the ag regulations. we expressed our concern about the way that these proposals would affect the ability of families to run their farms the way they have been doing so for generations. as all of us on the committee understand. we expressed concern about the way the proposal would affect the existing parental exemptions. significant concern regarding the way the regulations could impact agriculture education it relies heavily on experiences. my girls were all state record book winners in 4 h. that was a tremendous part of our family. i don't think there's problems with herding cattle, electric screwdrivers. it makes no sense at all. this is another one that again offers to put that sort -- the child labor laws under the agriculture department. again, i know there's a problem with that. i just wanted to bring it up and highlight the issue that we're dealing with. this is another thing as i travel throughout arkansas and throughout the country, i hear all about. so again, i withdraw the amendment. i do think

[narrator] >> those are the specifics of age discrimination legislation. e question, of course, is do they apply in the case of ernest costello? >> this is a classic case of age discrimination. mr. costello was a successful executive with 35 years of experience. new management comes in and suddenly older executives begin to leave, the company hints to mr. costello that he retire, and begins inventing problems with his job performance. >> mr. costello's problem has nothing to do with age. the new management has worked closely with him for six months to try to get him to adapt. he has not responded well to constructive criticism, nor does he seem willing to try new ways of doing things. the very purpose of the new management's taking over the company was to manage it more efficiently. mr. costello seems unable to do that. >> if the company's criticism is that mr. costello was unable to get any younger, we agree with that. working closely with mr. costello consisted only of trying to convince him to retire. the company could point to no problems with respect t

on the disability side just by virtue of the fact that age is 62 up to the normal retirement age, thedisability benefit becomes more attractive financial as compared to taking the retirement benefit. that offsets a little bit of savings for retirement age. that clearly is significant savings. >> is administered cause an issue with all the procedure that goes into applying for di as opposed to the almost automatically that you apply for retirement? >> there is certainly that. there's no question. the administrative cost for disability benefits are significantly higher current event for retirement benefits because of the work that has to be done in making that determination. so there is some cost in that regard. >> if i could just add a couple things to that. one of, there's also discussions about notches increasing the retirement age, but also the early eligibility age which is currently 62. and i think there's been a lot of concern about that, precisely because of people with disabilities, and not so much that they'll end up on ssdi and effects on people with would suggest maybe we ne

but as we see in the medical records, the age jumps around. there was no pension or application found in connection with the three enlistments. the thing to note there is that the original pension applications went through the state courts. there could have been a pension application that was kicked out through the state courts and never made it. that's possible. the other possibility is that pensions were given only on a need basis and any survivors of robert williams could have been in good financial state and not needed the money. of course, this is presented as a theory with evidence and is not meant to declare the identity of the man whose remains were found in the turret. and i and my project supervisors do not claim to be medical experts. and the last -- just so that we don't leave on a sad note here, clark rowe applied for a pension for his "uss monitor" service. he said that he enlisted on march of 1863 and was discharged in march of 1865. now, if you're going to commit a federal crime, i will advise that you go to the library first. h

the brain also begins to shrink with age. mental abilities and intelligence remain constant, but the rate at which the brain processes information slows down, causing slower reaction time and movement. and because an aging body requires less upkeep, metabolism slows down as well. the other thing... we wanted to check on was on your feet. they're big. for years, scientific research on aging focused only on its negative aspects. but improved medical care and extensive public health programs have dramatically increased the average human lifespan. over 31 million americans-- almost 12% of the population-- are over the age of 65. their numbers increase every day, as does their life expectancy. one of my cousins, della. if you look at photographs of 47-year-olds in 1900 and look now in the year 2000 at people who are... 78 years of age, they look very similar. and they're probably as robust. i am 95, and i still have some of my teeth. and i can drive a car. and if you look at an obituary page of the new york times, the astonishing t

when you raise the normal retirement age by a year, if people decide to take it at the same age they would have otherwise, it lowers the benefit by about 6.5%. they can delayed starting to benefit by one year and get the same monthly allowance for one year less. raising the retirement age clearly does save money overall, but there is an offset on the disability side by virtue of the fact that ages 60 to up to the normal retirement age, disability benefit becomes more attractive financially as opposed to taking the retirement benefit. the net effect of raising the retirement age is clearly a significant savings. >> is administered a cost an issue -- is administrative cost an issue? >> there is that. the administrative costs for disability benefits are higher than for retirement benefits because of the work that has to be done in making a determination. there are some costs in that regard. >> if i could add a couple of things to that. there are also discussions about not just increasing the retirement age but also the eligibility age which is currently 62. there has been a lot of concer

they didn't appear until, you know, the early age of dinosaurs. they took forever. so the question is, what took so long. and that has lead me, then, to a whole new layer of investigation in which i set out to find out how did it happen. this thing that took so long. >> rose: and? >> and. >> rose: how did it happen? >> it turns out we just haven't been looking in all of our arguments about what's the main force, what's the main circumstance that preoccupies anthropology about humans and the like. we should have been looking more carefully first of all at all of the social organisms in the world to see if there's a general law. just the way we look at gut bacteria to find out the basic of molecular genetics, just as we look at these little round worms to figure out how cells are put together in brain. we should be looking at all of the different spashz o species s who made this huge leap up in evolution to find out what it was they held in common. in a nutshell, it is this and it explains the rarity and why it took so long. they have to go through a series of steps le

25 to 44, the ages of which there is not a lot of disability, but people to work, to ages mers are essentially now in 2010 and 2011. those are ages of which are prime age is for people receiving disability benefits. let me flip to what we refer to a sort as sort of our first cost of social security disability and beyond those demographic factors and just the aging of the baby boom and being replaced by smaller generations coming behind. the first one of these drivers is just be insured. being a person of an age where you could receive disability benefits isn't enough to get benefits from our program. you have to actually be ensured. there are some work requirements and you can see here the percentage of the population, male and female, has been rather constant for men, brown 75% and we project that to stay in the future but over the last 25 or 30 years, the percentage of women who are just insured has risen quite dramatically and the reason for that is because there are certain work requirements, years of work requirements and even -- five out of the last 10 years and in th

first, the age of terrorism. my first experience with that was when president reagan asked me to be middle east envoy after 241 marines and navy corpsmen were killed in beruit at the airport, and you will recall a truck loaded with explosives drove into the barracks where the marines and the navy corpsmen were billeted and blew it up, and we put some forces in along with two or three other countries and things were not going well, and i got a call from george schultz and president reagan asking me to leave the company i was running, a pharmaceutical company at the time, and leave that and help out, so i did, and it was a new experience for me who kind of served in the pentagon during the cold war and here was something that was notably different than the cold war. it was terrorism. i remember at that time people were writing books and giving lectures about the end of history if you remember that, the theory was that communism was kind of behind us and i ended up speaking to the u.s. army association and talking ab

the lawyers. so a upon sentiment. >> rose: and sixth age was old age, the sixth age shifts into the lead parthenon, with spectacles on nose and pouch -- >> yes. it is, you know, that is just age, which comes to us all, and we see it all-round us but it is kind of benevolent in a sense, but age in shakespeare's plays is often a thing regarded with contempt, and the very famous in henry the fourth when king henry the fifth rejects pal staff, his, fall staff, his playmate has grown out of him .. and he says how ill, white hairs become a fool and jester. and he talks about him long dreamt of such a man, so old and so profane. there is a feeling of great bitterness and rejection of the old. shakespeare, you know, was only 52 when he died, but i think you arare not wrong to assume he was in poor physical condition when he died, and the famous for rait of him at the front of the folio, the great edition of his plays published after his death of course by his fellow actors, was to suggest to us that possibly he had syphilis, and that would account to a large extent for the terrible bitterness of so many o

when i went to work in the fields full time at the age of 15 making 80 cents an hour, i work in fields where there was no cold drinking water. we just had a can that sat out in the sun all day and tasted more like soup than water. there were no toilets in the field. if you needed to go to the bathroom, you had to go hide behind a tree or underneath the grapevines. if you were working somewhere where you did not have that edge recover, especially if you are a woman, other women have to stand around you and form a barrier to preserve your dignity. if we complained about the working conditions, we were told if we did not like it, we could quit. there was somebody else that could take our job. we were fired more times than i can remember for asking for our wages to be raised, but i thought that was the way it was in america. i thought that if you complained, you would be breaking your oath that you made when you came to this country. we on this something was wrong, we just did not know what we could do about it. until one day i picked up a copy of the newspaper that translate to "ill bred,

it was the age of wisdom, the age of foolishness. it was the epoch of belief.t was the epic of in credulity. it was the season of light. the season of darkness. it was the spring of hope. it was the winter of despair. we get everything before us. we had nothing before us. we were all going direct to heaven. we were all going direct the other way. does that sound like the current political discourse? [laughter] does that resonate with your feelings? does that describe your consensus of someone you know? how does one navigate the uncertain valley that lays between the best of times, and the worst of times? is it possible for this season of lights to shine into this season of darkness? there's a compass which can guide us from the winter of despair, and that is called hope. help. -- hope is putting faith to work when doubting would be easier. we can all be thankful for hope. people like martin luther king jr, told as darkness cannot drive of darkness. only light to that. the haight cannot drive out hate. only love can do that. perhaps it is only coincidental, but

we have a fundamental shift in the age distribution of our population. while this will be happening over the next 20 years for our retirement program, you can sort of see in a subtle way on this for the disability insurance program it's really already happened. if we flip to the next slide you get a better look at it. this slide showins you the fact that the cost of disability insurance has already risen from 1975 to 2010. you can see the cost of the program, which is the blue line, has been rising and rising pretty dramatically. you can see the bump right around where we are in history now. of course, that's the recession and there's a rides up in the cost of program to gdp, and we think it will stabilize and decline slightly into the future. the question is why is this happening and what do we believe will happen in the future? we look at the subcommittee staff a little hearing back in december to address this issue and look at what the drivers of social security cost really are.
