翻译下这段吧
Many of those growth-boosting trends have since stalled or gone into reverse. The skills of the labour force have stopped improving as fast. Ever more workers are retiring, women’s labour-force participation has flattened off and little more is to be gained by expanding basic education. As consumers have become richer, they have spent more of their income on services, for which productivity gains are harder to come by. Sectors like transport, education and construction look much as they did two decades ago. Others, such as university education, housing and health care, are lumbered with red tape and rent-seeking.
这些促进增长的趋势，后来许多都停滞不前或出现了逆转。劳动力的技能已不再像以前那样快速提高。越来越多的工人退休了，女性劳动力的参与已经持平，扩大基础教育也没有什么好处。随着消费者变得更加富有，他们把更多的收入花在了服务上，而提高这些服务的生产力却很难实现。运输、教育和建筑等行业与二十年前的情况差不多。其他方面，如大学教育、住房和医疗保健，则受到繁文缛节和寻租的拖累。
