Significant demographic changes are altering the structure of
the American population. Larger numbers of immigrants are entering
the work force, will become part of our aging population, and
increasingly, are providing care for the elderly. Family structures
and communities are evolving as marriage, childbearing, divorce,
and cohabitation trends are changing. The working population that
supports the elderly, physically and economically, is also changing
and will most likely become smaller and less able to support this
growing population.
What does this mean for the well-being of our aging population
and our efforts to ensure the quality of life for our elderly now
and that we will want to enjoy ourselves as we become part of this
older population?
In this volume Drs. Schaie and Uhlenberg and a host of leading
scholars look at the current structure of the American population
in an effort to determine the impact it will have on the lives of
the elderly and those growing older with disabilities and chronic
illness. They examine the effects of the aging baby boomers on
health care, migration and immigration and how it can support or
tax health care networks, cultural issues regarding access to
health care, and changing cultural attitudes towards marriage and
family that are affecting the relationships between the elderly and
their communities.
