Overview

The U.S. population aged 65 and older, grew steadily through most of the last century. U.S. Census Bureau population projections to 2030 indicate that further and more dramatic growth is still to come. This increase is, in part, due to longer life expectancies and the ageing of the baby boom generation. This book explores the older population as it increases in size and proportion, and as individuals continue to live longer post-retirement. Topics discussed include the changes in where older Americans live, or the ""geographic distribution"" of the older population; older workers employment and retirement trends; income of Americans 65 or older; poverty among older Americans; and obesity among older Americans.
