While today there are 3.4 workers for each Social Security beneficiary, by 2030, there will be only about 2 workers paying taxes to support each beneficiary (see figure 1.7).
It's expected that by 2030, the number of workers per Social Security beneficiary will drop from 3.4 to 2.
The worker to beneficiary ratio for Social Security is expected to go up to 4 or 5 by 2030.
