 The United States is in the midst of a profound demographic change: the rapid aging of its population. The 2000 Census counted nearly 35 million people in the United States 65 years of age or older, about one of every eight Americans. By 2030, demographers estimate that one in five Americans will be age 65 or older. The effects of this older age profile will reverberate throughout the American economy and society in the next 50 years. Preparing for these changes requires an understanding of the growing diversity within the older population. (BUL56.4, December 2001)
