Answer 2

Answer:

To encourage older workers to retire so younger workers had more jobs available.

Explanation:

The Social Security Act is a law that was enacted in 1935 during the Presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt as part of the New Deal. The law created both the Social Security program as well as insurance against unemployment. This program established an old-age program funded by payroll taxes in an attempt to provide funds to those in need, as well as encourage older workers to retire in order to have more jobs available for the young.
