The working age share will fall from 64% to 59% over the next twenty years.
The Chair of the Oireachtas Infrastructure Committee is questioning the ESRI in regards to pensions.
Representatives from the Economic and Social Research Institute have been discussing how to balance future population growth with current infrastructure trends.
Their projections to the committee state the working age share will fall from 64% to 59% over the next twenty years, meaning far fewer workers will be supporting the older generation.
