Answer & Explanation: Aging workforce refers to the part of working individuals that has reached a certain age and beyond often 40 years and above.

Having more aging workforce is HARMFUL for economic growth. This is so because an aging workforce will lead to a decline in labour participation rate due to the retirement age for kost countries. This will also lead to an increase in social security tax and eventually a decline in productivity.
