Which date range corresponds to a 7% retirement percentage increase?

You map a specific percentage change to its effective dates. When the retirement percentage increases by seven percentage points, you look for the period in which that exact change occurs. In the data provided, the seven-point rise happens during the span from January 1, 1975, to December 31, 1983. The other date ranges show different changes (or none), so they don’t match the 7% increase. Reading the chart this way—pairing the exact change with the period when it happens—points to that mid- to late‑1970s window as the correct range.
