最近讀了新平行閱讀法，有些題目還是不太懂，網路上也找不到，希望可以在這裡問問
F) The future, we are told, is likely to be different. Detailed surveys
of social and economic trends in the European community show that
Europe's population is falling and getting older, The birth rate in the
Community is now only three-quarters of the level needed to ensure replacement
of the existing population. By the year 2020, it is predicted that more than
one in four Europeans will be aged 60 or more and barely one in five will be
under 20. In a five-year period between 1983 and 1988 the Community's female
workforce grew by almost six million. As a result, 51% of all women aged 14
to 64 are now economically active in the labour market compared with 78% of
men.
題目: In the future, the number of people in employable age groups will
decline.
答案: Yes
解析大意是說:研究顯示歐洲人口數量下降且老齡化。現有出生率僅能替代目前人口3/4。
代表將來達到工作年齡人口數量就是下降了
但我疑惑的地方是，就業年齡族群會往上下延伸，年齡級距變大，(by the yr 2020那句)
這不就是拿來彌補人口數的不足嗎?總體來講就業人口數量應該沒變阿@@
還有發現這本書的P160那篇沒有全部答案耶，請問有人有嗎?
謝謝大家
