Hey Ilan.

to me, producers includes almost all adults and many children too.
producers are not simply people engaged in waged labor, but all kinds of
unwaged labor too, such as housework, many students, childcare (which is
often done by the older children) etc.  So I do not find 'associated
producers' to leave out many people except those who will be dependent on
others for their survival (the infirm, young children, some elderly, some of
the mentally handicapped, etc.)

Cheers,
Chris
