This article estimates the number of persons who have worked in employment covered by the social security program but not enough to meet minimum requirements for retired-worker benefits. On the basis of a sample of persons near retirement age in 1973, it was found that about 70 percent of these persons are women, that they have worked an average of about 8 quarters, and that many of those ineligible have had no work in covered employment since 1950. An estimated 12 percent of men and 29 percent of women aged 57--64 in 1973, with some covered employment in the period 1937--73, will be ineligible for retired-worker benefits. When only those with more recent covered employment are considered, the percentage ineligible declines. Thus, of those who have worked since 1950, 6 percent of the men and 20 percent of the women will not qualify.
本文估算了那些曾从事社会保障计划覆盖的工作但工作时长不足以满足退休工人福利最低要求的人数。基于1973年接近退休年龄人群的样本，发现这些人中约70%为女性，她们平均工作了约8个季度，而且许多不符合资格的人自1950年以来就没有从事过社会保障计划覆盖的工作。据估计，1973年年龄在57至64岁之间、在1937年至1973年期间有一些社会保障计划覆盖工作经历的男性中有12%、女性中有29%将没有资格获得退休工人福利。如果只考虑那些近期有社会保障计划覆盖工作经历的人，不符合资格的比例会下降。因此，在自1950年以来有工作经历的人中，男性中有6%、女性中有20%将不符合资格。
