SENIOR, ELDER POPULATION

The US Census Bureau has released data that highlights a boom in the global senior citizen population. In the United States seniors will increase to 40% within the next 5 years. The senior population 65 and older will more than double by 2050...39 million seniors today as compared to 89 million seniors in 2050. Seniors are going to make a much bigger contribution to the economy than once thought. Businesses will flourish and benefit by tapping into this senior resource. Within this senior population, growth and living standards will rise. This group though, will pose challenges to families, society and health care providers. Will there be easier solutions to the financial problems associated with Medicare and Social Security? The senior population will certainly put a lot of pressure on these structures and organizations to meet their demands and their needs.

Our seniors will continue to vote and speak their minds. Many will still be capable of physical and mental growth and stimulation. They will be able to maintain their senior independence for a longer period of time. They will fight for the rights and respect that they, themselves, and other seniors deserve. They will not be forgotten or pushed aside. This senior influx is not going away. It will be necessary to look for options associated with all entities of the senior community. These options will impact our quality of life and what is available to us as we grow older. And, did you know that in the next 10 years or so seniors will outnumber children?

Seniors are redefining life.
