The Boomer’s life expectancy is said to reach 79 years of age. In 2030, the youngest of Boomers will reach age 65, presenting socioeconomic and demographic challenges relating to caring for these seniors. In the next episode of Coffee With Vivien LIVE, we’ll have @Esther Goldstein & @Paul Cutajar of Senior Care Access talk about the challenges that seniors face with regards to housing, healthcare, and basic support needs for this demographic.

If you, your family, or someone you know is going through this transition in life, and are in need of assistance, tune-in on Wednesday, Feb. 24 at 12 noon on Facebook LIVE.

A review of economic and demographic data, as well as simulations of projected socioeconomic and demographic patterns in the year 2030, form the basis of a review of the challenges related to caring for seniors that need to be faced by society.

A major public policy concern in the long-term care field is the potential burden an aging society will place on the care-giving system and public finances. The “2030 problem” involves the challenge of assuring that sufficient resources and an effective service system are available in thirty years when the elderly population is twice what it is today. Much of this growth will be prompted by the aging of the Baby Boomers, who in 2030 will be aged 66 to 84—the “young old”—and will number 61 million people. In addition to the Baby Boomers, those born prior to 1946—the “oldest old”—will number 9million people in 2030.
