Demography Of Aging: Impact Upon Life, Job And Society

Abstract: 3 pages in length. As the baby boomers converge upon retirement age and beyond, they bring into focus just how inadequate the 'system' truly is in relation to health care and economic security. The burden of responsibility must fall somewhere if government programs are not capable of sustaining this larger than normal group of elderly; in this particular situation, adult children are being handed the weight whether they are prepared for it or not. Dubbed the sandwich generation, adult children of baby boomers have an unprecedented and daunting task in that their longer living parents and their own children must be cared for simultaneously, placing tremendous burden upon finances, emotions and resources. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
